Review of Daphne

Daphne (2007 TV Movie)
A very sad and romantic movie...

It was very interesting to hear the author behind Rebecca explaining her her personal love life. Although the real Daphne wouldn't have told a sinner about her sexual experiences with other women and it was very sad that back then, no one even considered it to be a good thing. We all love who we love.

It was such a bummer that she didn't get Ellen Doubleday as her lover. They would've absolutely just be good lovers. However I say the marriages for them both weren't stable at all. They like all women experiencing same sex fantasies back in the heyday kept their mouths shut.

I say the real Daphne had lots going on with her life to maintain a good family life for her children and her husband. I suppose she didn't want her author career to go downhill because of this secret she had been keeping until her death.

This film really opened up a lot of doors into the life of Daphne du Maurie. I applaud the marvelous Geraldine Somerville for playing as the legendary author!
