Film Stars Don't Die in Liverpool (2017)


This biopic makes very cursory work of the early stages of the relationship between 40s Hollywood starlet Gloria Grahame, apparently once an actual person, and her much younger Liverpoolian lover Peter Turner, then wants viewers to invest themselves in that relationship's protracted death throes as Grahame, sick with breast cancer, returns to Liverpool an ailing Norma Desmond type - but quite sympathetic - seeking to convalesce in a room upstairs in Peter's family's home.

★★☆☆☆
