I've been interested in the story of Wallace Simpson and Edward VIII for ages, I'm actually half way through reading this biography of her which is amazing.
I missed W.E in the cinema, and although it had awful reviews I was so desperate to see it, and last night I finally did! I am a fan of deep, unusual films, so I thought it was wonderful; it is however, anything but straight forward! It has an odd approach, comparing the life of a present day woman, but somehow it does work (although I'd have also loved it if it were all about the two of them).
It's really deep, definitely no fairytale story and although I don't usually find myself being so taken with this aspect of a film, the music was wonderful (in fact I have it on in the background now!) I'm going to be buying it as soon as it comes out on DVD!
