Review

Written and directed by Academy Award winner Jane Campion, Bright Star is a riveting drama based on the three year romance between 19th century poet john Keats and Fanny Brawne, which was cut short by Keats' untimely death at age 25. Ben Whishaw (The International) and Abbie Cornish (Elizabeth:The Golden Age) stars as Keats and Brawne, respectively.+

The tragic but intensely passionate love affair between Romantic poet John Keats (Ben Whishaw - PERFUME: THE STORY OF A MURDERER, I'M NOT THERE) and the radiant Fanny Brawne (Abbie Cornish - CANDY, A GOOD YEAR) is detailed in this romantic period drama from critically acclaimed writer/director Jane Campion (THE PIANO, IN THE CUT).

Review:	Jane Campion has turned the short and doomed affair between John Keats and Fanny Brawne into an enthralling film that tenderly rips your heart to shreds - The Times A film which I think could be the best of her career; an affecting and deeply considered study of the last years in the short life of John Keats - The Guardian , A fine-boned, luminous tribute to Keats and the sufferings of love. San Francisco Chronicle, Masterfully put-together, made with confidence, intelligence and command. The Los Angeles Times, Ms. Campion, with her restless camera movements and off-center close-ups, films history in the present tense, and her wild vitality makes this movie romantic in every possible sense of the word. The New York Times, What makes the movie extraordinary, however, is not so much the portrait of a poet as the accuracy and the detail of the period re-creation. The New Yorker
