i've never been more impressed with keira knightley -- loved her in P&P and bend it like beckham but as for the pirate movies, ugh. she was fucking brilliant in this, with a welsh accent to rival any and the most surprisingly good singing voice, all low and husky. as for miss miller, this is the first i've ever seen her act and i was just blown away. she took on the role of dylan thomas' wife with guts and a beautiful honesty that took me completely aback. both girls brought a lovely naturalness to incredibly difficult roles.
the whole thing was just visually stunning as well - kudos to the art directors for creating such a realistic setting -- both the London WWII backdrop and the wales countryside were done so well. i won't give much more away but absolutely recommended.
(although notice she does the same breathy 'I love you..." as in atonement? sometimes i get the feeling she's a bit of a one-trick pony...)
