The Edge of Love

Rakish aesthetes are doing their part for the troops, while proper society types are behaving like bohemians and falling into bed with each other.

The cast is strong and the first act has an intriguingly dreamy quality...

The film is on solid ground when it sticks to the women and their half-adoring, half-vicious relationship to each other...

...a film of real beauty, filled with smoky eyes, alabaster skin and plump, passion-filled lips.

A plush mood piece that conjures both the boho fatalism of wartime London and the pain of being attracted to a wrong 'un.
