Full Plot Details

Film star Elizabeth Taylor invites her ex-husband - twice over - Richard Burton to her 50th birthday party where, as a recovering alcoholic, he refuses to get drunk with her. He does however consider her suggestion that they star in a stage revival of the play 'Private Lives.' As they announce the project, the press speculate on a romantic reconciliation. With a new girlfriend and the prospect of playing King Lear, Burton is not happy with the project, especially with Taylor's pill-popping and her lack of stage experience, which causes problems at rehearsal. The play opens to a critical trashing but is popular with audiences, chiefly, again to Burton's chagrin, because they want to see Taylor and, when she is ill, numbers dwindle and the show is put on hold. After a two-month run, with a projected tour, the curtain comes down and Taylor tells Burton she has always loved him and still does. A year later however, his old life-style catches up with him and he is dead.

Movie Reviews

San Francisco Chronicle - 10/10 by David WiegandNot only does it capture the essence of the two outsize icons of film and scandal, it also brings them in for a humanizing close-up.
Daily Mail (UK) - 8/10 by Deborah RossElizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton were a riveting couple and Burton And Taylor was a wholly riveting 90 minutes.
NPR - 6/10 by Linda HolmesBonham Carter has a firm hand on a fundamental conflict within Taylor, which is that she seems like such an impossibly elegant, self-possessed woman at some moments and like such an infuriating flake at others.
Washington Post - 6/10 by Hank StueverBonham Carter offers up a sympathetic Liz who is in the process of squandering her talent; West makes Burton's brokenness seem like a noble resignation. And both seem surprised that each other's company is no longer the cure for what ails them.
Chicago Sun-Times - 6/10 by Lori RacklBBC America is here to set the universe right again with its love/hate story about Hollywood's hot mess of a couple.
User Review - 10/10 by Sandra MJust superb. Amazing actors playing amazing actors.
User Review - 8/10 by Matt LWhat a tragic love story, acting is terrific, story has you glued from the start
User Review - 8/10 by Kyle B"Burton and Taylor" is a drama fixed on the last year of the famous Richard Burton's life and his last encounters with his ex-wife, the very famous Elizabeth Taylor. The story is starting when Burton and Taylor will both participate the the theatrical play of Private Lives. This TV movie is mostly centered on Burton's as a central character and his depiction of Taylor's extravagance/love. I really liked this TV movie, I felt it really well written, with a very experienced set of actors/actresses and it really cleverly depict two very famous personalities, their love, their fear, their regrets, their fame. Helena Bonham Carter was absolutely shining as Elizabeth Taylor, even if she doesn't really look like Taylor; Dominic West was also very good as Richard Burton, depicting him as a rather proud and yet sensitive man. I also loved that the direction avoided tons of flashbacks and instead just reinforcing only on a bit of a timeline in their life. The TV movie might be sometimes slow paced but it is so smartly developing the characters, that I believed it was the best way to do it.
User Review - 6/10 by Wilfredo RConvincing looks with convincing performances.
User Review - 6/10 by Daniel MThere's a reason why people hope for drama in celebrity relationships...
