The Edge of Love is one of those movies that comes out without anyone noticing or making much of a fuss. And sometimes that means its one of those really awful straight to DVD movies. But in this case, it is a precicious gem. The story follows the two women in the life of famed poet Dylan Thomas during WWII during the bombardment of London and later in Wales. Vera, the childhood friend and sweetheart, played by Keira Knightley is a no nonsense jazz singer and Caitlin, played by Sienna Miller, is Dylan's over-the-top and light-hearted wife. The two first meet suspiciously but quickly bond over Dylan and his eccentricites. The movie is filled with plenty of wonderful 40s costumes and hairdos. The best was the floral dresses under a cozy sweaters and wellies. Its beautifully made and tragic really. But at its core, the movies resonates about the friendship between the two women and the man who had brought them together and would eventually drive them apart. Here is the trailer if you are interested!
