Bright Star *** (2009, Ben Whishaw, Abbie Cornish, Paul Schneider, Kerry Fox, Edie Martin, Thomas Brodie-Sangster) – Classic Movie Review 2940
This worthy but dull 2009 fictional romantic biopic is based on the last three years of the life of poet John Keats and his romantic relationship with Fanny Brawne. The acting, though, is inspiring. Ben Whishaw […]
