The plot covers a period of a few years in which the poet Dylan Thomas is taken under the roof of a former ex-girlfriend. It is educational in the way that it shows the horrors of war as seen from home and the way feelings don't need to make any sense at all and still be strong, but that's about it.
#The edge of love movie#
It's just that after you see a bunch of people doing things you can't truly relate to, the movie ends. The acting, directing, atmosphere, music were all good. But it is the story that bothered me, not the realization of the film. And nothing new.Ĭan't grade this very well, because I can't say I liked it. Reviewed by siderite 7 / 10 A visceral description of human smallness. It's a beautiful film for adults with probably the best acting the leads have done. (I tried to look up on line to see how much of the film is true but I couldn't find anything) Still I think this is a film worth seeing. Its not bad, but its not completely satisfying as a result. Something seemed to be missing and a couple of times I had to replay the film to see if I missed something. The trouble with the film is I'm not entirely sure of everything that happened.
Rarely have I ever seen a film that is this beautifully crafted.
On a purely visceral level I really enjoyed watching the film because the film is so artistically pleasing. It's so nice to see a film about adults being adults. This further complicates things as jealousy begins to show its face.īeautiful to look at, extraordinarily written and wonderfully acted (everyone disappears completely into their roles) this is a sumptuous feast for the eyes and the ears. The women hit it off and things proceed at pace until the trio are joined by the man who will become Knightly's husband. Meeting at a bar they reconnect, however things become complicated when Thomas' brings his wife (Miller) along the next time he meets her. Knightley is Thomas's boyhood sweetheart he re-encounters during the Blitz. Keira Knightley and Sienna Miller stars in the story of two of the women in the life of Dylan Thomas. Reviewed by dbborroughs 7 / 10 The performances and the technical aspects make this worth seeing Desire and guilt are complicated by love and friendship in this real-life tale set in beautiful London and the majestic Welsh countryside. Enraged, William stages a violent attack on Dylan - an attack that forces Vera to choose between the men in her life and the friend that she loves. Neighbourhood gossip fuels her husband's jealousy towards his rival. William returns a changed man, but neither is Vera the carefree cabaret girl he married. When William is posted abroad, and a pregnant Vera returns to Wales with her married friends, the battle between her heart and head becomes more intense. She marries her devoted admirer William Killick, but she can't deny the chemistry between herself and Dylan, nor does she want to - even if this means betraying Caitlin. Romantic turmoil continues in Vera's life.
But she knows his connection with Vera is something different, not to mention dangerous. Caitlin indulges in her own infidelities, and recognises a similar adventurous spirit in her husband. Despite their love-rival status, the women form a surprising friendship. The two former lovers feel the thunderbolt once more, but Thomas is now married to the adventurous Caitlin. She's working as a singer whilst he's churning out scripts for government propaganda films and living off the last in a long line of infatuated women. Vera Phillips and Dylan were teenage loves fast forward ten years and the two reconnect in London. The passion and pathos of legendary poet Dylan Thomas is told through the lives of two extraordinary women.
Two feisty, free-spirited women are connected by the brilliant, charismatic poet who loves them both.
