(SPOILERS)
According to this movie, it is the males in the women's lives that make them miserable. I'm sure women who watch this movie will empathize completely with the female characters, but will not see them for what they are: completely selfish and having no regard for the effects they have on other people's lives.
When Woolf tries to flee to London her poor husband has to remind her of all the sacrifices he's made just to keep her sane. This is what love is, but Woolf barely acknowledges this because she is apparently a lesbian who wishes she had never married this awful man anyway. Yes, Virginia Woolf did have mental issues so I guess she can be forgiven to an extent. But not the other women in this movie!
Moore's character seems to be miserable for no reason...except that she's also a lesbian who wishes she had never married her "awful" husband. She is so hopeless she can't even bake a cake correctly, and then shows her true colors by abandoning her children to live a consequence-free gay lifestyle in Canada...with absolutely no regard for the effect it will have on her children (and husband) left behind. Considering what eventually happens to her son Richard, this makes her a despicable human being.
Obviously Steep's character is supposed to be Mrs. Dalloway, but it is still baffling why she bursts into tears while trying to cook. Who knew cooking was such a strain? I guess it is because she is also a lesbian who has been caused so much grief by the vastly eccentric Richard.
Moral of the story: never mind your own personal shortcomings! If you are a woman and you're miserable, it's the fault of the men in your life.
