Seems that we're in front of a biopic, but this is more another "mental disease film". "Iris" only focuses in two aspects of the writer's live: the meeting with Bayley when she was young and above all the decadence and alzheimer suffering when older. What about the other interesting aspects of Murdoch's life? And why they forget the other people who surrounded her and make them appear just plain in the film?
I went out of the cinema having the feeling that I had enjoyed supreme performances, delicate direction from Eyre and a coherent construction of the story-line (that editing evoking the disorder of Iris when ancient), but without knowing that writer at all.
