Sylvia is a British feature film directed by New Zealander Christine Jeffs and funded by the BBC .

The film tells the story of the relationship between authors Sylvia Plath (played by Gwyneth Paltrow ) and Ted Hughes ( Daniel Craig ) and ends with the suicide of the 30-year-old author.

Sylvia Plath's daughter Frieda is said to have prevented original quotes from her mother from being used in the film. Colin Firth was originally intended for the role of Ted Hughes .

criticism

“The solid biographical film primarily traces her struggle for recognition as an artist and woman in the conservative climate of the 1950s. The main actress succeeds in depicting the poet's passionate love and despair, and yet Sylvia Plath appears in an all too simplistic light. "
