Synopsis

The passion and pathos of legendary poet Dylan Thomas is told through the lives of these two women. Vera Phillips and Dylan were childhood sweethearts in their homeland Wales. Ten years later the two meet again in war-time London. She’s working as a singer whilst he’s churning out propaganda scripts for the government in aid of the war effort. The two feel the thunderbolt once more, but Thomas is now married to the adventurous Caitlin and Vera is embarking on a romance with the intense but loyal William. Despite their love-rival status the women form a strong friendship and when William goes to war the remaining trio form a fierce but unavoidably complicated bond. Broken promises, passion, betrayal, the shadow of war and the constant threat of imminent death provides a vivid setting for The Edge of Love.

I have to admit , this movie is a little twisted. But for some reason I cried at the end, I don't even know where that came from. But obviously, somewhere along the way, I felt for Vera Phillips and her life.
