EON Productions and Barbara Broccoli’s new movie Film Stars Don’t Die In Liverpool gets its first trailer and totally points to the Oscar buzz possibly coming Annette Bening’s way …
“An absolute masterpiece in film-making” – Hollywood News
“Bening is excellent as Grahame: imperious, vulnerable, romantic, sexually excited about her younger man, wanly aware of secrets she cannot share with him.” – The Guardian
“Bening nails Grahame’s hyperventilator’s voice and flighty demeanor, as well as the seemingly out-of-nowhere sultriness that, for example, Nicholas Ray (Grahame’s second husband) used to striking effect in the 1949 noir A Woman’s Secret. Yet Bening also gives you a full sense of Grahame’s often-tortured depths, be it the obsession with her looks (her upper lip being the prime offender) or the scandal she courted” – Slate
