The TVI Take
Stephen Daldry's 2002 David Hare adaptation of Michael Cunningham's novel, three interlocking stories across three time periods anchored by Nicole Kidman (Best Actress Oscar), Julianne Moore, and Meryl Streep. The structural commitment to letting Virginia-Woolf-as-literary-source operate as actual thematic material, and the women-and-mental-health register the film takes entirely seriously, is canonical early-2000s prestige drama.
