Marie Claire Film Review: The Edge of Love

Racey wartime tale of poet Dylan Thomas and his lovers

Starring Keira Knightley, Sienna Miller
Sex and stanzas collide in this steamy wartime exploration of poet Dylan Thomas (Matthew Rhys) and the women in his life - wife Caitlin (Miller) and former lover Vera (Knightley). If it's hardly a probing take on Thomas ('I do it - sleep with other women - because I'm a poet,' is as deep as the dialogue gets), Knightley and Miller conjure much chemistry in what emerges as a prickly study of female rivalry.
