Review of Film Stars Don't Die in Liverpool (2017) by Peteoppel — 04 May 2018

Bening and Walters are superb in an otherwide depressing account of the last two years in the life of Academy Award-winning actress Gloria Grahame. The film glosses over the more unsavory aspects of Grahame's life, particularly her marriage to her stepson whom she first went to bed with when he was 13 and she was still married to his father as well as one of my favorite bits of Grahame trivia -- she held the record for the briefest amount of screen time for any Oscar-winning role until Beatrice Straight broke it almost a quarter of a century later.

There's not a lot here to compel someone to seek out this film.
