Based on Peter Turner's memoir, the film follows the playful but passionate relationship between Turner (Bell) and the eccentric Academy Award (R)-winning actress Gloria Grahame (Bening) in 1978 Liverpool.

As Grahame, Annette Bening captures both the actress's vulnerability and her flintiness, holding her own against a case of talented British actors
February 08, 2018
Bening is outstanding as a woman who fears that her fame and beauty are slipping away, and Bell ("Billy Elliot") brings to his character a heartbreaking vulnerability.
February 28, 2018
McGuigan's role is essentially to serve the script and the performers, and we can be grateful the project wasn't handed to a director more bent on imposing an authorial stamp.

The screen romance of Film Stars Don't Die in Liverpool may seem as odd as the real-life pairing was, but it's a credit to all concerned that the validity of it is never in doubt.
March 02, 2018
Ultimately, Film Stars Don't Die in Liverpool is an extremely rewarding romantic drama and should appeal even to those unfamiliar with Gloria Grahame
March 06, 2018
I knew nothing of these individuals beforehand and so it serves as an eye-opener and a fitting tribute.
February 16, 2018
Bening finds the shattered beauty in Grahame, the tragedy of an ex-star hanging on for dear life to her waning looks and fame that has long since passed her by.
February 01, 2018
Worth seeing for Bening's brave and touching performance as an actress past her prime.
March 02, 2018
Quite the odd couple, they nevertheless seem perfectly suited, and Bening and Bell play them with plenty of heart, horny humour and a powerfully realistic, anti-Hollywood pain.
February 02, 2018
Annette Bening is one of those rare actresses who makes a movie, however otherwise deficient, worth seeing.
March 06, 2018
... for all its unlikely and fantastical nature, Film Stars is a lovely love story.
February 01, 2018
If the movie meanders, it's refreshing to see a May-September romance in which May is played by the man for once and where the sex is happy, frank, and frequent.
