Review of Film Stars Don't Die in Liverpool (2017) by Ledaumas — 03 Feb 2018

I made my boyfriend watch this movie with me as I am an old movies fan and he is not. He became very intrigued with Gloria Grahame and hadn’t realized that this was pretty much a true story. That a famous Oscar winning actress asks a close-knit family if she can stay with them while she’s in denial about her terminal illness, and they treat her like a member of their family as they try to figure out what to do.

Who could have thought up such a plot? Gloria and Peter are hard roles to make credible. I’m surprised Annette and Jamie didn’t get Oscar nominations.
