I am terrified to believe that the millions of people who watched this movie without actually understanding who Sylvia Plath was, her intellect, her raw and beautifully successful poetry, will come away from this movie thinking she was an untalented, petty, nagging, weak, depressed housewife who never came up with a single poem. The biggest error that Jeffs made while making this movie was excluding Plath's personal thoughts and perspective. There is a plethora of information in her journals. The Most Important part of Plath was her mind. Exluding her thoughts from the movie was similar to coring out the essence of who Plath was. Biographical information is incorrect. Random scenes are put together simply so Plath (Paltrow, who was not impressive, but this is due to the horrible script)could artificially reminisce about her suicide attempt. The only thing this film did well was portray Ted Hughes' malignant betrayal and unfaithfulness. Sylvia Plath DID NOT forgive him. If you saw the movie forget everything you saw and read a friggen book.
score 1/10
