Chris R This is a bit of a car-crash movie. I don’t understand what enjoyment any viewer is supposed to get from it. It is pretty obvious from early on that Elizabeth Taylor was manipulative and arrogant, and this just gets repeated in various ways throughout the rest of the film. She sows up late, brings pets and sycophants to rehearsals, doesn’t take the job seriously, and generally is unpleasant (this may be true, but I don’t need to sit through 2 hours of it). Both of them were fighting addictions, and this is also clear. So, watch the first 10 minutes if you wish, then turn it off and you have saved yourself the rest of the time seeing the same thing in slightly different guises. Entirely unenjoyable. Mildly educational in terms of how they were. I will say that Helena Bonham Carter plays the role in which she is cast extremely well. Dominic West is less credible asBurton though. Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 03/28/25 Full Review alan g Dominic West is not a Burton look a like and neither is Helena Bonham Carter is no Taylor but they are great at acting their roles. Most attractive HBC in years. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/28/25 Full Review isla s I found this film a little frustrating, as it seemed as if I was watching a TV series mid-way through a series/season run. The viewer doesn't get too much information about the main, titular characters, in terms of what happened before the time the film starts at, the situations they found themselves in (that I can remember anyway). The performances are good and its a somewhat tense and perhaps intriguing watch in parts, with some good dialogue but it felt too much of a brief glimpse into the characters relationship, rather than fully exploring it. I wouldn't expressly recommend it, no. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member This was way better than I expected. I love Bonum-Carter and she was excellent in this movie Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/12/23 Full Review Ethan T A simple but engrossing tale of two stars with history nearing the ends of their careers. Bonham Carter steals the show, and West is also very good himself, although I could not speak to the accuracy of their performances. The emotions and the relationship, though, were both on point and transformed the story from boring or bland to an immensely satisfying TV film. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 05/12/21 Full Review Audience Member Acting luvvies will love this melodramatic rubbish, but the rest of us will just be bored. I dont care!
