An interesting if somewhat underwhelming biopic of an actress that whilst big in her day has pretty much drifted into obscurity.

Annette Benning is good as the ageing actress whilst Jamie Bell, giving one of his best on screen performances, proves that there’s more to him than just Billy Elliot.

In a week where Justice League has been released in the UK it’s hard to see this finding an audience among younger film goers, but anyone of a more mature age, especially if they are aware of the actresses work, will be more than entertained by this sad tale of how Gloria Grahame, once one of Hollywood’s brightest stars, came to find happiness in Liverpool.
