This Year’s ‘Atonement’?

Kiera Knightly is at it again! She stars opposite Sienna Miller, Cillian Murphy and Matthew Rhys in a tale of lust, love, betrayal and revenge. Could this possibly be another Atonement, as one reviewer suggests? Here’s the synopsis:

Two feisty, free-spirited women are connected by the brilliant, charismatic poet who loves them both. The passion and pathos of legendary poet Dylan Thomas is told through the lives of two extraordinary women. Vera Phillips and Dylan were teenage loves; fast forward ten years and the two reconnect in London. She’s working as a singer whilst he’s churning out scripts for government propaganda films and living off the last in a long line of infatuated women. The two former lovers feel the thunderbolt once more, but Thomas is now married to the adventurous Caitlin. Despite their love-rival status, the women form a surprising friendship. Caitlin indulges in her own infidelities, and recognises a similar adventurous spirit in her husband. But she knows his connection with Vera is something different, not to mention dangerous.

Sounds interesting, but no Atonement. We’ll just have to see! Expect to see the The Edge of Love in theaters starting on June 18…
