Could have been really Great!


I watched this film because I am really into Dylan Thomas however, i saw the low rating and bad reviews but thought i'd still go watch it. I feel like the film had strong performances! especially the actor playing Dylan! (wow) however the main narrative was so weak?! so many things I didn't quite understand... I thought Vera and Catilin became instant friends a bit too quickly after their sour meeting in the bar? and to be honest I wanted to know more about Dylan's character this film felt random and I feel like they only focused on Vera because Keria was playing her :/ but i love the voice over bits of Dylans poetry, really great. The ending felt very unsatisfactory... Anyway I am hoping for a proper Dylan boipic film :)

I'd think the script would have been written (focusing on Vera more)prior to Keira being chosen for the role... In the Trivia section, it says that Sharman Macdonald wrote the role of Caitlin with Keira Knightley in mind, but Keira chose to play Vera instead...
