Anyone watch this film about a Virgina Woolf's novel. Was on TV on Saturday night and had three different but related stories going on in different times. Nicole Kidman was Virgina Woolf trying to finish her novel but suffering from depression in the 1920s, Juliane Moore was this unfulfilled housewife in the 1950s and Meryl Streep was this lesbian editor in present day New York who had to nurse a dying friend who she was in love with.
It was a bit confusing at first with so many stories going on (a bit like Magnolia) but was very powerful despite being very depressing throughout.

Seriously? Well I thought it made you feel the importance of doing what's right in your life now rather than wasting all those 'hours' away doing something you're not satisifed in. The one character who did make a success at the end (Clarissa) grapsed that I thought. She had the benefits of more freedom than the others.
