Our take

The energetic center of this wartime drama are the two wild women in Welsh poet Dylan Thomas’s life. British filmmaker (and underground luminary) John Maybury captures the roving spirit of literary bohemia and a very unconventional romance. With Keira Knightley, Sienna Miller & Cillian Murphy.
