'In a season of blockbusters and disaster flicks rolling towards us with grim jollity, Bright Star is that rare and upbraiding thing, a film - perhaps the last one of the year - that seeks not to jam your emotions or scare you silly, but asks you to think about words.' |

'Quietly shedding all the fussy baggage of ?heritage drama', Campion gives us a moving account of Keats' great love and tragic death. A film of pictorial beauty and authenticity, graced with a fine cast.' |

|
'What makes the movie extraordinary, however, is not so much the portrait of a poet as the accuracy and the detail of the period re-creation.' |
