Tom & Viv Movie Download

6 / 10

Tom & Viv & Willem & Miranda
The Tom and Viv of the title are T.S. Eliot and his wife, Vivienne Haigh-Wood, played by Willem Dafoe and Miranda Richardson in an Oscar-nominated performance.

I always come away from bio pics about artists thinking that the people around the artist would make a much more interesting subject for a film, because the artists themselves are usually rather dull. It’s refreshing, then, that this film focuses much more on Vivienne and her struggles with mental illness than it does on the life of Eliot. The film’s not entirely successful, but Richardson earned her Best Actress nomination and she’s given able support by Rosemary Harris, who plays her mother in couple of brief scenes.
