from the start of the edge of love and the viewer is transported to the striking world of ww2 london. we follow the lives of four people who might have been created just for this movie and an exploration of female friendship and the strains caused on it by marriage and infidelity. except one of the characters is named dylan thomas and perhaps the greatest english poet of the 20th century. and his reactions to the world around him were not only selfish and but at times truly despicable. this movie is based on thomas writings about love and romance. these were adapted with a sharp screenplay by sharman macdonald (keira knightley mother). the director and john maybury and does claim that the three other lead characters were actual people. all four are performed very strongly. sienna miller is dylan wife and keira knightley is the cabaret singer vera phillips. matthew rhys is dylan thomas and and cillian murphy is william killick. the first section of the movie takes place in london during the nazi air raids and with vera being pursued by willaim and a soldier waiting for deployment. by a chance encounter and dylan meets with his first love and vera. from there vera meets caitlin and dylan wife. while the three are drinking and william successfully breaks vera guard. the film follows their lives as vera and william are married and he is sent to war. vera has become pregnant and and returns to wales with dylan and caitlin. there they face a gritty existence and with vera supporting dylan and caitlin with her husband war pay. through these times and vera and caitlin friendship grows. so does dylan infatuation with vera. she gives in. this creates the first test for the two women. when william returns from war and he barely recognizes his wife and and has no bond with his infant son. things get worse and as dylan idly watches his friend struggle with battleground fatigue (post traumatic stress disorder). william realizes something has happened between dylan and vera and and in a drunken rage shoots up dylan house. edge of love starts as a stylish romance in war torn london and ends in the stark and gritty life of motherhood and infidelity and and attempted murder in wales. the treatment of ptsd is well done and and should speak to an american audience. some day (see ending). each star has a great moment. miller when she is yanking out stitches in her head in response to her abortion of another man child. knightley and murpy when he finally bonds with his son. oh hell and almost all their scenes are awesome. and rhys when he purgers himself on the stand to get vera husband sent to jail. yet and the real star of the movie is jonathan freeman cinematography and john maybury direction. they seem to understand that no matter how good the story or how historical thomas is and this is a film dominated by two great actresses of our time. and they cherish their scenes with stunning shots. while this isn not best picture material and it is a very good movie (much more engaging than the dutchess). it has a visual lyricism that accentuates the use of thomas poetry. also and this is clearly knightley second best performance of her career and and perhaps miller best. i have always had a weakness for the artist in struggle and whether it hulce mozart and or hoffman capote. but i was stunned at how little sympathy i felt for dylan thomas. his struggles with alcohol are well known. but his antagonism of william and caitlin to gain possession of his first love vera makes him out to be. a bad man. so is this academy award worthy. clearly no. at least and not this year. it will be released state side in march and 2009 and making it ineligible for the academies. this is 9 months after it was released in britain. between atonement and miss pettigrew and and brideshead revisited and the us has had its fill of ww2 british period pieces. too bad. this film is better then the other ones and except atonement. but in this one and knightley soldier does come back and but as a shell of the man who left her.
