Bright Star is a beautiful film about the poet John Keats' friendship with his neighbor, and eventual betrothed, Fanny Brawne, that blossomed into love and tragically ended too soon when he died of tuberculosis at the age of 25. It stars the mesmerizing Ben Whishaw as Keats and Abbie Cornish as the endearingly loveable Fanny.
The only other film I've seen this year that resonates as much is The Hurt Locker. Possibly because they were both directed by women, or due to the fact that it's on the complete other end of the spectrum in terms of dramatic cinema, but this movie was an incredibly powerful love story, that inspired some of Keat's best work and still resonates today. This movie is a work of art about art, and simply does not get any more beautiful.
My rating: 9.9/10
