Good Morning, World

.
Shamefully I never reviewed Film Stars Don't Die in Liverpool here on the site but I liked the movie quite a bit and mainly because Jamie Bell -- besides playing a bisexual (admittedly in word only) while having the nerve to look like that in his (period inappropriate) boxer briefs -- gives a tremendously effective performance. Bening is good too but she's outshone by 1) her better work last year in 20th Century Women and 2) Jamie in a less showy role somehow stealing the whole movie from her. Anyway it's out on blu-ray in late April and I recommend seeking it out if you missed its small run in theaters, it's worth a couple of hours for sure. Hit the jump for more of a taste of the superficial reasons...

It really is such a great little movie. And both stars are fantastic although it really is more his story. I couldn't believe they kept that conversation about bisexuality in. It doesn't really forward the plot (although it depends their connection) so I could picture a movie exec ordering them to cut it.
