«Keats and His Beloved in an Ode to Hot English Chastity»— Scott in The New York Times.
«Jane Campion’s film Bright Star is a wistful and melancholic account of the unconsummated romance between the poet John Keats and his neighbour Fanny Brawne.»— Quinn in The Independent.
«Very few films allow you to listen to the sounds of silence, or near-silence, between the lines of dialogue: the sounds of birdsong, or the rustle of clothing, or footfalls in a country lane – but that is what Campion’s does. […] a fine and even ennobling film: defiantly, unfashionably about the vocation of romantic love. […] Their love is murdered by the false choice between love and art, and sacrificed to a petty tangle of money worries, social scruples and irrelevant male loyalties.»— Bradshaw in The Guardian.](http://30.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_kxtvzkMyUF1qz4yr8o1_500.jpg)

“ A new study provides evidence for what many have long suspected: that single women are much keener on pursuing a man who’s already taken than a singleton. ”
