[Knightley & Miller] frolicking on the beach ... could easily be a couple of models from a Boden fashion shoot at play.

This may be Knightley's first truly mature performance. Too bad it arrives wrapped in doggerel.

The Edge of Love holds a lot of promise in its first hour and never completely falls apart, but it's ultimately not the movie it might have been.

While Thomas fans will regret seeing their literary hero reduced to a generic drunk, even those awaiting the aforementioned bathtub scene will find it barely worth the effort.

Ah, the London Blitz. Bombs falling, buildings on fire, people dying all around. Good times, good times.

The Edge of Love is literate and often lovely to look at, but unless you're requesting an off-key bohemian rhapsody, do not go gentle into that good theater.
