Join us at the Underground Cinema by WVIFF for April's feature film: Film Stars Don't Die in Liverpool
About the film:
Film Stars Don't Die in Liverpool is a 2017 biographical romantic drama film directed by Paul McGuigan and starring Annette Bening and Jamie Bell. It is based on the memoir of the same name by Peter Turner, and tells his story of falling for aging Hollywood actress Gloria Grahame in 1970s Liverpool, only to face reality when she is diagnosed with breast cancer.
What the critics are saying:
Unfolding during the final years in the life of the actress Gloria Grahame, the movie recounts her unlikely love affair with Peter Turner, who was nearly three decades younger than she was. Full review
The simple pleasures of “Film Stars” lie in the sincerity with which it honors friendship, unapologetic attraction and deep loyalty. Full review
Ms. Bening gives us a portrait of a volatile woman who has come back to a place where love once was.
