From Sep. ELLE:
Sylvia, the movie about the brief, dramatic marriage of glamorous twentysomething poets Sylvia Plath and Ted Hughes, arrives in theaters next month primed for controversy—even before the movie wrapped, their daughter fired off a poem denouncing it as exploitation. You can't blame her for being touchy. Plath is America's Frida Kahlo, a gifted artist whose mass appeal rests not on her work but her suffering, which famously culminated in her gassing herself at age 30 while her two young children slept in another room. Plath's most wild-eyed fans pin her death on the philandering Hughes, whose champions have struck back by trying to paint Plath as an egomaniacal Yank jealous of her British husband's talent. So will Sylvia be a cross between Wuthering Heights and Mommie Dearest? Not likely. The best hope for the movie is that it stars Gwyneth Paltrow (opposite a well-cast Daniel Craig, who shares Hughes' slightly brutish good looks) and is directed by New Zealander Christine Jeffs. Paltrow, after forays into the netherworld of fat suits and flight attendants, is clearly hungry for a role requiring real intelligence and emotional complexity; she stayed loyal to the project through four years of development ups and downs. Jeffs came in later, but it's hard to imagine a better fit: Two years ago, she blew critics away with her first film, Rain, a stunning meditation on a passionate marriage gone tragically wrong. —K.D.
