Two feisty, free-spirited women are connected by the brilliant, charismatic poet who loves them both. The passion and pathos of legendary poet Dylan Thomas is told through the lives of two extraordinary women. Vera Phillips and Dylan were teenage loves; fast forward ten years and the two reconnect in London. She's working as a singer whilst he's churning out scripts for government propaganda films and living off the last in a long line of infatuated women. The two former lovers feel the thunderbolt once more, but Thomas is now married to the adventurous Caitlin. Despite their love-rival status, the women form a surprising friendship. Caitlin indulges in her own infidelities, and recognises a similar adventurous spirit in her husband. But she knows his connection with Vera is something different, not to mention dangerous. Romantic turmoil continues in Vera's life. She marries her devoted admirer William Killick, but she can't deny the chemistry between herself and Dylan, nor does she want to - even if this means betraying Caitlin. When William is posted abroad, and a pregnant Vera returns to Wales with her married friends, the battle between her heart and head becomes more intense. William returns a changed man, but neither is Vera the carefree cabaret girl he married. Neighbourhood gossip fuels her husband's jealousy towards his rival. Enraged, William stages a violent attack on Dylan - an attack that forces Vera to choose between the men in her life and the friend that she loves. Desire and guilt are complicated by love and friendship in this real-life tale set in beautiful London and the majestic Welsh countryside.
Leave your thoughts about The Edge of Love.
| Christian Science MonitorPeter RainerThe best thing The Edge of Love could do for you is to send you back to Thomas's poetry. Dash this folderol. |
| L.A. WeeklyMelissa AndersonDirector John Maybury showed a defter hand with the artist biopic in his 1998 Francis Bacon film, "Love Is the Devil." Here he repeatedly falls into the genre’s traps, creating an inert, claustrophobic movie. |
| Seattle TimesMoira MacDonaldThe Edge of Love is the sort of muddled melodrama that has little to say about love, or anything else. |
| E! OnlinePeter ParasUnfortunately, like the murky visuals, the story is also muddled. |
| Boxoffice MagazineRichard MoweA period romance, charged with provocative undercurrents about art, war and the eternal battle of the sexes. |
| Courier Mail (Australia)Des PartridgeDylan Thomas's life is represented here, but John Maybury's hollow romantic drama is more interested in his women than in his literary art. |
| Sydney Morning HeraldPaul ByrnesMaybury at least makes it lush, which is a relief from the drab realism of other English lit biopics. |
| Urban CinefileAndrew L. UrbanThe film's cinematic signature is made up of moody imagery that is still grounded in reality, but with poetic flourish. Angela Badalamenti's score is elegantly understated |
| BrianOrndorf.comBrian OrndorfEdge doesn't aspire to be anything more than a juicy British wartime soap opera, but when it finds delicious pockets of whispered betrayal, artistic impotency, and cherry-lipped invitation, it adds up to a convincing sit. |
| Washington TimesKelly Jane TorranceThe film then goes from a chamber drama to something larger; it doesn't always work. The poetry and the performances... though, and they make the thoughtful and stylish The Edge of Love something more than just another British costume drama. |
