queerguru’s London correspondent fresh from a screening at the BF1 London Film Festival of Film Stars Don’t Die In Liverpool is now adamant that this will be the year that Annette Bening will finally snatch up the Best Actress Oscar. In a tour-de-force performance Bening plays fading Hollywood star Gloria Grahame in this true stranger-than-fiction tale about how she falls in love with a young Brit actor (superbly played by Jaime Bell) at the tail end of her life.

The movie also features scene-stealing cameos from Julie Walters and Vanessa Redgrave and is being released  in the US by Sony Pictures Classics on December 15th 2017.  We simply cannot wait.
