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.
Washington Post
Rating: 2/4 --
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.

Rating: 2.5/4 --
Maybury tackles the great Dylan Thomas in The Edge of Love, a speculative investigation into a cloudy period of the poet and dramatist's personal life. [Blu-ray]

Groucho Reviews
Maybury is a filmmaker of lush visual imagination....THE EDGE OF LOVE is shot through with expressive visual flourishes and tricks of the eye.
Washington Post
3 stars out of 5 -- Lots of emoting....The leads get the accents right, and Rhys makes a good fist of the Welsh wordsmith...
Empire
4 stars out of 5 -- Knightley looks stunning and appears to have a special empathy with her character....Deftly handled by John Maybury, the tangle of affections is portrayed with assurance and sensitivity. These are passionate and complex beings, caught up in a maelstrom of emotions...
Box Office
3 stars out of 5 -- Putting as much emphasis on the women in the Welsh poet's orbit as on the drunken rascal himself, Sharman Macdonald's script deserves praise for portraying the human cost of the talented scoundrel's feckless self-absorption.
Total Film
Product Description:
This sweeping romantic drama about the multiple loves of Welsh poet Dylan Thomas stars two British beauties: Keira Knightley and Sienna Miller. Vera Killick (Knightley) never really got over her romance with Thomas (Matthew Rhys of BROTHERS AND SISTERS), even though he married Caitlin (Miller) and she wed William (Cillian Murphy). With World War II on the horizon and William wearing a soldier's uniform, the characters mix love, infidelity, and danger as their lives become inextricably linked.
Product Description:
In the bohemian underground of World War II London, a stirring love story ignites among legendary poet Dylan Thomas (Matthew Rhys, TV's Brothers and Sisters) and the two extraordinary women who inspire him. Sienna Miller (Casanova) is Caitlin, Thomas' free-spirited wife, while Keira Knightley (Atonement) is Vera, the long-lost teenage sweetheart who later reconnects with Thomas. Despite their romantic rivalry, the two women form a surprisingly close bond. The trio is unusually blissful until Vera's husband, a handsome soldier (Cillian Murphy, Girl with a Pearl Earring), sends their uninhibited lives spiraling out of control.
