 "Sylvia" - Salon
You wouldn't necessarily know that from the title: "Sylvia" is ostensibly about the life of the troubled poet Sylvia Plath, who committed suicide in 1963, not long after her husband, the poet Ted Hughes, left her and their two children for another woman.
"Sylvia" doesn't take us that deep into the controversy -- it ends with Plath's death, just after she has placed a tidy trayful of bread and milk in the room where her two children sleep, sealed off that room and retreated to the kitchen, where she then turns on the gas.
For all its problems as a movie, "Sylvia" at least strives to make the point that the only two people who can know what goes on in a marriage are the people who are actually in it.

 Sylvia - Paul Parish   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
Sylvia herself is not a woman you believe in, like Juliet, but one it's FUN to believe in, for the nonce.
Fauns, dryads, nymphs, shepherds, the quasi-Cyclopean hunter who abducts Sylvia and imprisons her in his cave in the second act—each breed has its own stance, tempo, undulation, (some of it brilliant, some of it grotesque—the drunken oafs in act 2 take two steps forward, one step back, which is proverbially how drunks move).
Thus Morris delays the moment when Aminta recognizes Sylvia for certain, and makes it a turning-point in the drama but not yet the climax of the dance, so all the piqué ballonnées, the sissonnes to pointe, the pas de bourrées of her variation are performed while two slave-girls hold a veil over Aminta's face.

 AlterNet: Sylvia and Ted, a Potboiler
Sylvia Plath herself would have been curious about the way 'Sylvia' answers the question -- Plath was always trying to draw juicy plots from the materials of her life.
And 'Sylvia' is indeed a period piece: It deals with a marriage in the 50s, the bad old days about which Betty Friedan wrote The Feminine Mytique (1963) and which Phyllis Chesler critiqued in 'Women and Madness' (1972).
It was those mornings of writing that gave the world the Sylvia Plath canonized in contemporary literature, of course, and it was the afternoons of writing that produced the Ted Hughes who was eventually appointed poet laureate of England.

 San Francisco's Sexualized ‘Sylvia' - July 28, 2006 - The New York Sun

Sylvia's nuptial pas de deux with Aminta is performed with a veil that binds, separates, and engulfs them in a way that recalls the work of St. Denis as well as of Petipa's "La Bayadere." Mr.
