Over the edge of reality

The Edge of Love (2008)

Directed by John Maybury this film based on real events stars Keira Knightley, Sienna Miller, Cillian Murphy and Matthew Rhys. We follow the life of Dylan Thomas and his wife during WW2 along with that of their best friend and her husband.

While this period piece, which is some what of a British speciality, has some good parts if never manages to coalesce into something whole. It also seems that the plot wanders off from real events a fair amount. The cast do fairly well and Keira Knightley manages to hold a good Welsh accent through out but ultimately this is a bit of a disappointing effort.


2/5
