this movie be so dull i spend half of it on imdb while it be open in another tab on netflix try to find out if anyone think it be one of the more boring and ponderous and gimmicky film they have ever see . a warning represent i actually could not finish it and so these be my impression up to minute 54. keira knightly get load of screen time . a others have mention and her mother pen the script ( perhaps during some sort of drug induce stupor wherein utter inanity and emotionless statement about emotion sound like interest dialogue ) and it seem that the film be a showcase for knightly . oops . although i agree she be lovely ( with her teeth unexposed . her barred teeth cause me anxiety and fear ) i find her reaction force and poorly time . a in and william or dylan do something cute . pause . hahaha from k with dimple and a playful arm jab . like a minute too late . what . and she can not match cillian murphy intensity . he somehow manage to really look at her and look a though he be fascinate by her and fall in love with her whereas she seem totally disconnect and almost like she be interact with a mirror . that must be torture and act opposite someone who isn not deliver the same level of energy a you . know what else be torture . this movie . knightly do look stun during her cyclical i have get 1940s pin curl and a hot dress . watch me sing . shot and but what the point . be she an altar or an actress . when she talk it bizarre and ooow and mehster deelan . whur eer ya go . this make me confused because the accent be so mixed up and unauthentic and yet so thick at time i have no idea what she say ( or maybe fell asleep ) . if no one know who vera be or care and or few do and be it so important to give her this suppose welsh accent . it distract from all the rest of the action ( just kid there ) . this movie seem like someone dream a movie and maybe after read a little dylan thomas before bed . but instead of adapt to the waking world be like and man and that dream be so interesting and try to replicate it . then someone else caution and your script need work . nothing that happen furthers a story or create necessity and the writer be all and but that the way i dream it . it like the ramble fantasy of a child and one of those wild and meander yarn they spin to get your attention . and then william go to a war and then vera have a baby and then some blond chick drank too much and there be so many airplane and pin curl and everyone have ruby red lip and . a for the dylan thomas character ( so bland that all i can call him ) and why do not he have any line in this goofy biopic . all he do be drink beer and smoke cigarette and roll around with sienna miller and who be so wild and artistic she will do a cartwheel in public . get outta here and you crazy poet . ( i realize she be not a poet and but she and thomas be like this one nauseate unit of crazy guy havin crazy time and like a lukewarm sailor and lula from wild at heart . ) someone ask in the message board if they should buy this film . i say do it . leave it on your shelf and only utilize it a a weapon to narcotize child and the elderly and or linger house guest . p. s. to murphy character . when someone ask if you be in the sh you can say yes and because your war scene appear to have be shoot at a landfill .
