DreamyOneNumber1 We loved Film Stars Don't Die in Liverpool. It's a movie that can be enjoyed more than once, and in fact, is even better the second time around. The script, adapted from actor Peter Turner's book, is based on the true story of the final days of Gloria Grahame. Directed like an old-time movie, Paul McGuigan brings to the screen excellent performances by all actors, with exceptional performances from Annette Bening (as usual) and Jamie Bell. This movie is best enjoyed without any preconceived notions, so I will not share anything near a spoiler. Needless to say, however, as most everyone who checks a rating on this movie already knows, a young Peter Turner fell in love with aging Hollywood actress Gloria Grahame, but their time was sadly limited due to Gloria Grahame's cancer.For those who like to know the basis of what they're watching in advance of viewing a film, there is plenty of background information available. For my part, I watched the movie first, then did some research, and then watched it again. Armed with factual information, it was more meaningful seeing it again. While not for the very young, this is a movie most everyone else can enjoy. There's enough life lessons here to leave you thinking.

adonis98-743-186503 A romance sparks between a young actor and a Hollywood leading lady. Film Stars Don't Die in Liverpool is unrealistic, boring and quite hallow within, the 2 leads have no chemistry between them and their relationship feels forced instead of realistic or natural, it drags alot on certain areas and most of all it's not interesting as a whole and it wasn't something that needed to be said in the first place. (0/10)

Paul Allaer "Film Stars Don't Die in Liverpool" (2017 release; 107 min.) is a movie about the last years in the life of actress Gloria Grahame. As the movie opens (and Elton John's "Song For Guy" plays in the background), we are told it's "Liverpool, England, 1981" and we see Gloria applying make-up and getting ready for a theater performance. But she falls ill. She reaches out to Peter Turner in nearby Liverpool and asks if she can come stay at his mum's house. Peter agrees. We then go back in time to "Primrose Hill, London, 1979", and we see Peter running into Gloria for the first time. At this point we are 10 min. into the movie, but to tell you more of the plot would spoil your viewing experience, you'll just have to see for yourself how it all plays out.Couple of comments: this is latest from Scottish director Paul McGuigan, best known for "Victor Frankenstein". Here he brings the real life memoir of Peter Turner to the big screen. Turner met faded film star in the late 70s when he was 28 and she was twice that age. i shan't say more (biting my lips). Let's be very clear about one thing: leading actress Annette Bening is absolutely fantastic in this movie. You might think that, having been criminally overlooked in last year's Oscar nominations for he outstanding work in "20th Century Women", the Academy would be a bit more careful this time around. But no. Bening is once again robbed by the Academy, which instead once again lazily gave another nomination to Meryl Streep for her ok (but by no means outstanding) work in the very medicore "The Post" (an "All President's Men" wanna-be that is nowhere close to that gold standard). Jamie Bell is equally up to the task, but has nowhere near the stature or screen presence of Bening. Vanessa Redgrave appear in one scene. The movie's set production (recreating the late 70s/early 80s) is immaculate. Last but not least there is a lot f great music in the film, both as to the score and the song placements."Film Stars Don't Die in Liverpool" has been gradually expanding over the last 2 months, and it finally opened last weekend at my local art house theater here in Cincinnati. The Sunday early evening screening where I saw this at was attended okay (about 15 people or so). Other than the very basic premise of an older woman's relationship with a younger guy, I knew nothing about the movie beforehand, and I ended up enjoying this quite a bit more than I had expected. But it the end, this film is really about Annette Bening's outstanding performance, and that alone is worth checking this out, be it in the theater, on VOD, or eventually on DVD/Blu-ray.
