Ah, the London Blitz. Bombs falling, buildings on fire, people dying all around. Good times, good times.

Despite the supposed passion that such material should inspire, what is presented is an emotionally void "love" story, which features three cold, distant, and un-likeable characters.

For all its vivid evocation of its characters' tomorrow-we-die bonhomie, the film finally never quite convinces viewers of its central subject: the sisterly, almost sapphic bond between Vera and Caitlin.

[Knightley & Miller] frolicking on the beach ... could easily be a couple of models from a Boden fashion shoot at play.

The movie makes for an engaging enough period piece.

The Edge of Love holds a lot of promise in its first hour and never completely falls apart, but it's ultimately not the movie it might have been.

When it's over...we have to wonder why any of it mattered in the first place.

This may be Knightley's first truly mature performance. Too bad it arrives wrapped in doggerel.

While Thomas fans will regret seeing their literary hero reduced to a generic drunk, even those awaiting the aforementioned bathtub scene will find it barely worth the effort.

The Edge of Love is literate and often lovely to look at, but unless you're requesting an off-key bohemian rhapsody, do not go gentle into that good theater.
