Visually exquisite, Campion well captures the mystery - for modern and conventional thinking - of Keats having loved the plain and unlettered Fanny Brawne with her long close-ups, slow pacing, quietness, and, above all, the casting and direction of Fanny.

If you love Keats this is a must see movie. If you are moved by a doomed love go to this movie.
It is very slow, as fits the era, it is beautifully styled and the art direction is superb. The cinematography is breathtaking and truly evokes the time and place. Very lyrical and definitely NOT for the impatient.

"A THING OF BEAUTY IS A JOY FOREVER." And that is the exact description of this perfect film, the true tale of one of history's most passionate and heartbreaking love stories. If you adore Jane Austin's works, you'll be ENTHRALLED with this vibrant (!) and exquisite masterwork.
FABULOUS acting. Gorgeously photographed. Wrenching emotion. A pulsating and unforgettable little jewel, with a new kind of heroine!

A little long, but not really slow-moving. Exceptional music and the cinematography; solid performances by the leads and supporting cast. I "chick-flick" fare, but my husband, the sci fi and adventure movie fan, was drawn in and enjoyed himself.

I enjoy period films and Masterpiece Theater so I (mostly) liked Bright Star. Abbie Cornish and Ben Whishaw were quite good as the young ingenue who falls for the starving poet but I didn't find that enough to love the movie. Tthe whole "Brown" and "Brawne" name thing drove me a bit nutty as the accents were fairly strong. The fashions may have been accurately depicted but truly ugly, IMO and I didn't always care for the direction by Jane Campion. Having said all of this, if you are a fan of period films and Masterpiece Theater-type movies go ahead and indulge. I look forward to seeing these 2 in other films, especially Whishaw.
