Virginia Woolf's Night & Day
In 1910 London, independent-minded Katharine Hilbery defies her family's expectations of marriage to pursue a career in astronomy. But when her father pressures her into an unwanted engagement, her resolve is tested. Through new friendships—including a bold suffragette and a thoughtful editor—Katharine begins to question the limits placed on her by society, love, and tradition, ultimately searching for a path that is truly her own.

What people are saying
Updated nightlyPeople are split on this period piece about a young woman, Katharine Hilbery, resisting her family's marriage plans to study astronomy. The main praise goes to Haley Bennett's performance as Katharine, but she alone can't make up for a story many found predictable and thin. Some appreciated Lily Allen's turn as the bold suffragette Mary Datchet and found the film visually lovely, but the mixed reception often zeroes in on the familiar plot.
