BRIGHT STAR: Minireview: Jane Campion’s beautiful and wistful film shows John Keats and Fanny Brawne submerged blissfully in a love that exists almost entirely of their idealism.  The great young poet and the younger girl who found his poetry difficult live in two halves of a tiny cottage in Hampstead and drown in nature and Romanticism, in a film with its own visual poetry.  Abbie Cornish is entrancing as a determined seamstress who supports herself, which is more than Keats can do. (PG) Three and a half stars – RE

A service provided for those who wish to lighten their inner self of guilt, shame or whatever else is bogging them down by extracting their soul and storing it. PG-13. Three stars — RE
