A bit weird in places (every once in a while an unexpected reference to Coleridge/Wordsworth's impact on the modern world), not completely historically accurate, and definitely biased in the favor of Coleridge (but hey - I think it's the director's prerogative to tell the story how he wants to).

But that's all forgotten because the characters are delightfully complex and wonderfully portrayed by Roache, Hannah, Morton, and Woof. It's a visually beautiful movie that brings Romantic poetry to life.

I've already seen it three times and I'd love the opportunity to see it again.

I thought the movie was pretty slow-going and boring. Both main characters got on my nerves, and I thought the chemistry was much better in "In the Good Old Summertime" (which was based on the same play). I would recommend ITGOS over YGM any day.
