Edge of Love Review:

Certificate:
15


Genre: Drama


Who's in it: Kiera Knightly, Sienna Miller and Matthew Rhys

Chris' Verdict On Edge of Love: 5/10- "Edge of Love left me a little
bored. However, I did not like Atonement either. Kiera Knightly and
Sienna Miller both look gorgeous and give decent performances but the
film was too dull for me.


Ellie's Verdict On Edge of Love: 7/10- "I really enjoyed Edge of Love.
Atonement was one of last year's biggest hits and I think Edge of Love
could be another hit. Kiera Knightly is particularly good following on from
her Oscar nominated performance in Atonement."

The Edge of Love Review

‘Edge of Love’ is the newest Kiera Knightly film to hit the UK cinemas and
it will not disappoint.

‘The Edge of Love’ is based on the life of Dylan Thomas and set in 1941.
Whether the audience have knowledge of him or not this does not spoil
the plot. The two main characters Vera and Caitlin, played by Keria
Knightly and Sienna Miller realise they are both in love with the same
man, Dylan Thomas, played by Matthew Rhys. Despite realising this, the
two women become good friends.

‘The Edge of Love’ starts in London which is frequently being bombed.
All the nightlife therefore is forced move to the underground platforms.
Vera gains much attention from the soldiers at a cabaret she goes to
and meets Willaim Killick, played by Cillian Murphy an army captain. The
plot becomes exciting when Vera meets her childhood love in a pub,
Dylan Thomas. Dylan is married to Caitlin and when William is called to
go to war, Vera creates a love triangle. In fear of spoiling the engaging
plot line I will say no more.

‘Down with Love’ based Dylan Thomas a famous poet actually includes
very little poetry and mainly focuses on the women of his life. The film
stays loyal to the realities of his life and creates a great British film.  
Dylan’s radical approach to life for the 1940s is portrayed very well
throughout. Matthew Rhy and Sienna Miller both give great acting
performances. Keira also is fantastic in this period drama.

I personally would say its worth buying a ticket for. Although it is a little
deep at times, it stays entertaining throughout. As far as British films go, I
can see ‘The Edge of Love’ following in the footsteps of ‘Atonement’,
scene4u’s DVD buy of 2007. Who knows, maybe ‘The Edge of Love’ will
become the DVD buy of 2008.
