Based on the memoir by the same name, Film Stars Don't Die in Liverpool is the true story of Gloria Grahame's relationship with a much younger man. Annette Bening plays the aging Hollywood actress who had quite a colorful past. Jamie Bell plays Peter Turner, the younger man who wrote the book. It was good.
Wonder Wheel is Woody Allen's latest film set in Coney Island in the 1950s. Kate Winslet plays a former actress, now in a less than happy second marriage. Her son by her first marriage is a pyromaniac, her husband is an alcoholic and her grown step-daughter puts a wrench in her plans for happiness. Justin Timberlake, Juno Temple and Jim Belushi also star. It had promise, but it didn't deliver.
MK out.
