Relax, folks, you don't have to read Ulysses to watch this movie, let alone Finnegans Wake (no apostrophe in latter title as per Joyce). Better yet, it's not a movie version of either. The relationship between Joyce and Nora is the subject, and the ups and downs (no sexual pun here, though it would fit) of it are lovingly unfolded. Nora somehow reminded me of Molly Bloom in Ulysses, though I have no idea if Nora was the inspiration for Molly. Good photography, fine acting. why only a seven from yours truly? Too slow for my taste, Perhaps an unfortunate product of the SMS age. No wonder I never finished Ulysses nor could get into Finnegans Wake.
