By Alex Newhouse — March 19, 2004
Three highly talented actors, and an intricately fractured time frame characterise what is one of the best films to come out this year.

Sylvia
By Alex Newhouse — February 16, 2004
Upon entering the cinema, I suspected that the representations of Sylvia Plath and Ted Hughes were going to seem two dimensional when compacted into a film of slightly less than two hours. I was pleasantly surprised that this was not entirely the case. Though Gwyneth Paltrow concentrates upon representing Sylvia primarily as an anguished artist, [...]
