Film Stars Don't Die in Liverpool's reviews
Media reviews
The Hollywood Reporter
"Bell has done a lot of solid work since his breakout role in Billy Elliott, but this is definitely his most memorable performance since then."
The Guardian
"The movie makes the right decision to focus on the humanity and compassion. It?s a beguiling story and Bell and Bening are tremendous as the star-crossed lovers"
The Playlist
"In the end, it's a tragic romance where you see the ending coming a good ten minutes into the movie, but how can you not fall for a film that finds the joy in Bening and Bell disco dancing together?"
Variety
Turner saw something more in his "Glo," and though the movie fails to convey precisely what that was, we believe it. [...] [In the scene] where they meet her mother (Vanessa Redgrave) and sister (Frances Barber) in a terrific scene that achieves what the entire movie ought to have done: It leaves us wanting more.
Indiewire
"As Dixon Steele once said of his time with her: "I was born when she kissed me. I died when she left me. I lived a few weeks while she loved me." This film has nothing to add to that."
