...Lionel (Robert Downey Jr.), who seems ripped from the pages of “Beauty and the Beast.” Sound interesting? It could have been, but instead, we’re given Kidman’s attempt to reprise her wonderfully restrained, Oscar-winning turn as Virginia Woolf in “The Hours”—a valiant effort, to be sure, but an unsuccessful one. And then there is Arbus, whose fascinatingly strange photographs you will sadly not see in this film. Arbus shows us people who are decidedly a part of our world...
...saves the film at some of its worst moments. She throws herself into a stereotype—a dark author with writer’s block, who duses phrases like “fantastically depressing”—and plays her character as a modern, witty Virginia Woolf.

I find that thinking of questions my readers will ask themselves as they read my work—whether a paper or a Crimson article—and addressing those questions make for a solid piece of writing. Why wouldn’t Virginia Woolf create a narrator in “To the Lighthouse” who is clearly defined? The process might seem simple, but I sometimes forgot to be a step ahead of the reader, and to bring my thoughts to fruition; Expos changed that...
