The Edge Of Love (2008) 6/10

Starring : Keira Knightley, Sienna Miller, Cillian Murphy, Matthew Rhys
Director : John Maybury
Running Time : 107 mins

Welsh poet Dylan Thomas (Rhys) finds his life made complicated when his ex-lover Vera Phillips (Knightley) turns back up in his life. Following their separation prior to World War II, Dylan has now married Caitlin (Miller), but she and Vera become solid friends, a situation that Dylan seems to relish, but when Vera marries a soldier named William Killick (Murphy), Dylan becomes noticeably riled by his intrusion upon their small group.

This was a long winded way of some director getting Knightley and Miller into a bath together. The plot is confusing if you try to read too much into it, but if you like either of the leading ladies or just soft core lesbianism, then you might actually enjoy this movie to some degree.
