Where do I start?  Perhaps NOMINATED FOR 9 OSCARS!!!!!??????  WHAT?????!!!!!
NO WAY!!!!!
No way does this piece of pointless film deserve that many nominations.  Ok, makeup would've been good for a nom, but it didn't get it.  I mean, Nicole Kidman is very different looking with her fake nose and all, but nothing else about this film is any good.

It runs three different stories that have the similarity of suicide, so it's quite the downer and slow moving to boot.
Nicole Kidman plays Virginia Woolf who's depressed and what seems to be mentally unstable, although she could've just been bi-polar/manic depressive.  Her (husband, or brother?) husband, I think, moves her out to the country away from London to get better.
Meryl Streep is a lesbian, living with her life partner of 10 years and had a child through a sperm donor so she never met the father.  She's lesbian, but in love with an AIDS stricken poet, who's a man, whom she once had a short love affair with decades ago, and he's gay too.  Streep is a bit empty, vain, and pointless, pretty boring to watch in this role since her character is just surface level stuff.
Julianne Moore plays a pregnant housewife who's married, apparently happily, until she kisses one of her female friends on her husband's birthday.  Her character is awkwardly shy and slow speaking.  Hard to watch if you ask me.
I can't imagine anyone enjoying this film, unless, you are suicidal perhaps....

0 out of 5 - nothing entertaining about this one.
