Edge of Love
July 7, 2008
Keira Knightly and Sienna Miller star in Edge of Love, which is set during World War II. Keira plays an independent woman making her living as a singer when she runs into Dylan, her first love, in a pub. The old flame is quickly rekindled until Dylan’s wife shows up around the same time as a handsome young soldier. A tale of adultery and violence quickly ensues as these new love interests are introduced in the plot.
Edge of Love was a disappointment, to put it lightly. Keira’s unexpected singing debut was unimpressive and too focused on throughout the movie. Considering love was a major focus of the film, I was never convinced of any such emotion between the characters. They all seemed to be pretending with each other. I half expected this to turn into a lesbian love story, which would have at least added some excitement to the story. I rate Edge of Love two and a half stars.
