Boy, you have to be a true romantic to enjoy this film. A few weeks ago I wrote about John Keats in my diary. He is a magnificent poet. But this film about his love for Fanny Brawne is tough to sit through unless you are able to be deeply moved by true romance and require no drama:  nothing much to happens except two people who are deeply in love with another.  The Immortal Beloved film about Beethoven’s love interest is an cliffhanger compared to Bright Star. John Keats’s inner life and the poetry it allowed to emerge are much more rewarding than this film. If only Keats had not died at the tender age of 25.
