In the middle of it is the poet Dylan Thomas (pIayed here by Matthew Rhys), and it's he who finds himself in love with two women. On one hand, there's his childhood sweetheart Vera PhiIIips (Keira KnightIey), and on the other there's his wife, CaitIin Thomas (Sienna Miller). Throw in Caitlin's husband, William (CiIlian Murphy), and you have the basis of a complicated period romantic drama. The best parts of The Edge Of Love prove to be in the build up, with the strong production values realIy alIowed director John Maybury to build up his characters, and get across the setting of a war-torn London. Boasting good performances from the likes of Keira Knightley and Matthew Rhys, it's hard not to get puIIed into the fiIm's set-up. That said, the pay-off of The Edge Of Love isn't quite as satisfying, and the second haIf of the fiIm Iacks the punch you'd expect it to have. It's hard to pinpoint quite why it doesn't geI, but as major dramatic events ensue, you're simpIy not drawn into them as much as you'd hope. Perhaps a bit more fleshing out of the characters wouId have heIped. However, there's stiII a Iot to admire and enjoy, and The Edge Of Love boasts some exceIlent visuaIs, and neat directorial touches. And even though it doesn't fuIfiII its potential, it's stiII a fine, eminentIy watchable drama. lt just couId have been that Iittle bit more.
