In 1818, high-spirited young Fanny Brawne finds herself increasingly intrigued by the handsome but aloof poet John Keats, who lives next door to her family friends the Dilkes. After reading a book of his poetry, she finds herself even more drawn to the taciturn Keats. Although he agrees to teach her about poetry, Keats cannot act on his reciprocated feelings for Fanny, since as a struggling poet he has no money to support a wife.

So poetic, deep, moving. I had no knowledge of his life and this was so bittersweet.

Brilliant. So gut wrenching but definitely the Life story I never knew. Tragically beautiful but captured amazingly.

Interesting biopic. It’s sad Keats, like so many greats, died thinking he was a failure.

I don't know how to describe how I felt after it ended. A gently told story, with brilliant acting. Pure romance.

If you haven't already you will fall in love with poetry, and if you are a romantic this movie just melts your heart

A wonderful piece of cinematography. The framing and scenes are created with such delicacy. If you can't deal with slow movies avoid.
