Bright Star

This movie was based on a true story on the John Keats and Fannye Brawne romance. I watch a lot of BBC and period pieces, so this movie appealed to me.

Overall, the movie is presented well with good acting and a straight forward plot. I had higher expectations but the film is better than decent. If you enjoy this type of movie, then you will want to see this at least once.

Netflix Summary:

Critically acclaimed Australian filmmaker Jane Campion helms this drama detailing the passionate three-year romance between 19th-century Romantic poet John Keats (Ben Whishaw) -- who died tragically at age 25 -- and his great love and muse, Fanny Brawne (Abbie Cornish). Much of the story was inspired by Keats's poetry and the actual love letters the pair exchanged. Thomas Sangster, Paul Schneider and Kerry Fox co-star.
