Directed by Jane Campion ("The Piano"), "Bright Star" chronicles the love affair between real life poet John Keats and Fanny Brawne. It took about 30 minutes for me to engage in this one (which I think is far too long). However once I did I found the two protagonists to be sweet and genuine in addition to their flair for the dramatic. The color palate was gorgeous and rich and was perfectly woven together through the costume design. The music I found fairly distracting which was frustrating. If I worked on a 5 star system (which generally, I don't)...I would likely give it 3 stars. Worth renting, likely on a grey, rainy evening.
