IR Film Review: VIRGINIA WOOLF’S NIGHT & DAY [Quiver]

Based on Virginia Woolf’s second novel, "Night And Day" follows Kit/Katherine (here played by Cyrano’s Emily Bennett) and her pursuits and pursuing education and her love of physics and astronomy while existing in a backwards world not of her choosing. Given a slightly more modern touch with a touch of subtlety including a Woolf cameo, it shows the push and pull of the time period. Like “Radioactive” in a certain way (that film starred Rosamund Pike), Bennett has the balance but also the approach needed for these kinds of hybrid-period pieces (like the more experienced Pike). Her sadness and emotions show on her face readily and yet she is still very determined.
