Set Fire to the Stars

Set Fire to the Stars is a 2014 Welsh semi-biographical drama film directed by Andy Goddard in his feature-length directorial debut, co-written by Goddard and actor Celyn Jones.^[1]^[2] The film stars Elijah Wood as American poet and academic John Malcolm Brinnin and Celyn Jones as the renowned Welsh poet Dylan Thomas, focusing on Brinnin's real-life attempts to chaperone and sober up Thomas during his 1950 tour of the United States.^[1]^[3] Shot in stark black-and-white cinematography, the 97-minute production draws from Brinnin's 1956 memoir Dylan Thomas in America, portraying a week-long retreat in Connecticut amid Thomas's notorious drinking and bohemian excesses as Brinnin grapples with idolizing his literary hero.^[3]^[2] Premiering at the Tribeca Film Festival in April 2014 before a limited U.S. theatrical release on June 12, 2015, via distributor Strand Releasing, the film features supporting performances by Kelly Reilly, Kevin McKidd, and Shirley Henderson, with a soundtrack composed by Welsh musician Gruff Rhys.^[1]^[2] It received mixed critical reception, earning a 57% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes based on 42 reviews, with praise for its atmospheric visuals and Wood's nuanced portrayal of Brinnin but criticism for sidelining Thomas's poetic depth in favor of dramatic tropes about creative turmoil.^[2] Audience scores were lower at 40%, reflecting divided opinions on the film's introspective pace and focus on Brinnin's perspective over Thomas's charismatic chaos.^[2] Despite modest box office returns, Set Fire to the Stars has been noted for its authentic evocation of mid-20th-century literary New York and Connecticut, underscoring the fraught mentor-protégé dynamic between the two poets.^[3]

Plot and cast

Synopsis

In 1950, aspiring poet and director of the Young Men's and Young Women's Hebrew Association Poetry Center John Malcolm Brinnin invites the renowned Welsh poet Dylan Thomas to New York City for the first stop on a multi-city American tour of poetry readings at universities and cultural institutions. Eager to support his idol and address Thomas's well-documented struggles with alcoholism, Brinnin arranges a week-long retreat at his family's secluded estate in Connecticut, intending it as a detox period to prepare Thomas for high-profile engagements, including a major reading at Yale University.^[2]^[1] Upon Thomas's arrival, his charismatic yet volatile personality immediately disrupts Brinnin's structured academic world, as the poet embarks on boozy escapades through Manhattan bars and resists sobriety efforts. Key events unfold during the retreat, where Thomas's heavy drinking leads to mischievous antics, such as locating hidden liquor supplies and commandeering a rowboat for nocturnal adventures, while interactions with Brinnin's social circle— including a raucous dinner party involving ghost story exchanges—highlight Thomas's irreverent charm and penchant for provocation. Philosophical discussions emerge between the two men on the nature of poetry, creativity, mortality, and the artist's inner turmoil, revealing Thomas's romanticized self-destruction and Brinnin's growing disillusionment.^[4]^[5] As the week progresses, escalating tensions strain their relationship, with Brinnin's initial hero-worship evolving into frustration, exasperation, and an unwelcome sense of paternal responsibility amid Thomas's worsening benders and personal confessions, including reflections on his family life prompted by a letter from his wife. The narrative builds to a health crisis for Thomas, marked by violent illness from alcohol poisoning, underscoring the perilous toll of his lifestyle even as he musters the energy for a triumphant yet contentious Yale performance that offends local academics. The film draws from the real events of Thomas's 1950 tour as recounted in Brinnin's 1955 memoir Dylan Thomas in America, dramatizing the emotional and psychological depths of their encounter for cinematic effect.^[6]^[7]

Cast

The cast of Set Fire to the Stars centers on a tight-knit ensemble that captures the film's intimate portrayal of literary tension and personal turmoil between two poets during a chaotic 1950 visit to America. Elijah Wood leads as John Malcolm Brinnin, the reserved American poet and host who invites Dylan Thomas to New York, only to grapple with the guest's disruptive influence on his structured life.^[2] Celyn Jones embodies Dylan Thomas, the boisterous Welsh poet whose alcohol-fueled charisma and volatility challenge Brinnin's patience and expose the fragility of their friendship. Jones, a native Welsh actor raised in Anglesey, was selected for his authentic grasp of Thomas's cultural and linguistic nuances, enhancing the character's raw energy.^[2]^[8]^[9] Kelly Reilly plays Caitlin Thomas, the poet's spirited wife who appears in a hallucinatory vision, escalating the conflicts surrounding her husband's excesses.^[10]^[11] Supporting the principals, Steven Mackintosh portrays Jack, Brinnin's pragmatic associate who helps navigate the poet's unpredictable behavior; Shirley Henderson as Shirley, and Kevin Eldon as Stanley, a pair of friends in Brinnin's social circle who observe and react to the escalating drama.^[10] This ensemble's nuanced interplay amplifies the film's focus on the confined dynamics of admiration, resentment, and artistic inspiration among a small group of literati.

Production

Development

The film Set Fire to the Stars draws its historical inspiration from John Malcolm Brinnin's 1955 memoir Dylan Thomas in America, which chronicles the Welsh poet's 1950 tour of the United States. Brinnin, director of the Poetry Center at the Young Men's and Women's Hebrew Association (YMWHA) in New York, hosted Thomas during the visit, organizing poetry readings across cities and campuses while grappling with the poet's escalating alcoholism. The memoir details Thomas's time at the YMWHA and a subsequent retreat in Connecticut, where Brinnin attempted to manage Thomas's self-destructive tendencies amid the tour's demands. These events form the core of the film's narrative, emphasizing Thomas's charisma, creative fervor, and personal struggles.^[3]^[12]^[13] The screenplay was co-written by director Andy Goddard and actor Celyn Jones, marking Goddard's feature-length directorial debut following his work on short films and television episodes for series such as Downton Abbey and Torchwood. Development began under Mad As Birds Films, a production company specifically formed by Goddard, Jones, producer AJ Riach, and Andy Evans to realize the project, in collaboration with Masnomis. Securing rights to adapt elements of Thomas's life story involved navigating the poet's estate and biographical sensitivities, as the film blends factual accounts from Brinnin's memoir with dramatized portrayals of interpersonal dynamics.^[14]^[1]^[15] As a low-budget independent production with an estimated cost of £700,000, pre-production emphasized a minimalist aesthetic to capture the era's intimacy without expansive sets or effects, reflecting the constraints of funding through UK-based sources. This approach influenced decisions on casting and scope, prioritizing character-driven storytelling over lavish recreations of 1950s America. Key challenges included balancing biographical fidelity to Brinnin's documented experiences—such as Thomas's readings and alcohol-fueled escapades—with necessary dramatic license to fictionalize private conversations and emotional arcs, ensuring the film remained a semi-biographical drama rather than a strict documentary.^[1]^[16]

Filming

Principal photography for Set Fire to the Stars commenced in early 2014 and lasted several weeks, constrained by the film's modest independent budget to maintain efficiency.^[17]^[18] The production was shot entirely on location in Wales, with Swansea and its surrounding areas, including the art deco Guildhall, the Lord Mayor’s mansion house at Ffynone, and the Gower peninsula, doubling for 1950s New York City and rural Connecticut estates.^[19]^[17] This choice leveraged the Welsh landscape's versatility to evoke American settings while keeping costs down, as the film recreated urban and countryside scenes without extensive travel.^[16]^[20] Cinematographer Chris Seager employed black-and-white digital photography on Arri widescreen cameras, utilizing period-appropriate lighting techniques to craft a moody, literary atmosphere that enhanced the film's intimate, introspective tone.^[21]^[16] Editor Mike Jones focused on tight pacing in post-production, highlighting the dialogue-driven confrontations between characters to underscore the emotional core of the narrative.^[21] The low-budget nature of the production, as a small-scale British-Welsh endeavor, presented challenges in achieving period authenticity, prompting the use of practical effects, sourced 1950s attire, and handmade props to immerse viewers in the era without lavish expenditures.^[20]^[18] These resourceful decisions contributed to the film's textured depiction of mid-20th-century life, relying on location scouting and minimal sets rather than elaborate builds.^[22]

Music

Score

The original score for Set Fire to the Stars was composed by Gruff Rhys, a Welsh musician best known as the frontman of the indie rock band Super Furry Animals.^[23] His involvement brought a culturally resonant perspective to the film, given its exploration of Welsh poet Dylan Thomas's tumultuous first visit to America in 1950.^[24] Characterized by minimalist, atmospheric arrangements, the score blends acoustic piano, strings, and brass to evoke a timeless, otherworldly feel appropriate to the film's black-and-white 1950s setting.^[23] Drawing on cocktail jazz, hazy Americana, and lounge-pop influences, it features velvety textures, hushed intimacy, and soft romance that underscore moments of tension, poetry, and introspection without dominating the dialogue-driven scenes.^[25] Tracks transition from lyrical elegance to discordant tones, mirroring the emotional volatility of Thomas's character and filling silences with textural melancholy to deepen the portrayal of isolation and genius.^[26] The music integrates seamlessly as part of the film's poetic structure, providing custom cues that reflect line breaks in the script and offer reflective space amid intense exchanges, thereby enhancing the overall thematic depth of the poet's inner turmoil.^[26]^[27] Recorded live in 2014 shortly after principal photography wrapped, the score was assembled using period-appropriate instruments to avoid anachronisms, aligning with director Andy Goddard's aim for an evocative, era-specific ambiance.^[23]^[24]

Soundtrack release

The soundtrack album Set Fire to the Stars, composed by Gruff Rhys, was released on September 30, 2016, by Twisted Nerve Records in collaboration with Finders Keepers.^[28] It comprises 23 tracks drawn from Rhys's original score for the film, blending cocktail jazz, hazy Americana, and atomic-age bop to capture the post-war New York atmosphere of Dylan Thomas's 1950 visit, with a total runtime of approximately 42 minutes.^[24] The album was made available in vinyl, CD, and digital formats as a limited independent release.^[29] Among the highlights is the title track "Set Fire to the Stars," a velvety lounge-pop piece with hushed intimacy and acoustic quirks, drawing inspiration from Dylan Thomas's poem "Love in the Asylum," from which the film's title is derived.^[25] Other notable tracks include "Tremble to the Light," a world-weary ballad featuring Rhys's restrained vocals, and "After Hours/Panic," which incorporates frantic instrumental cues evoking tension.^[30] The release received critical acclaim for its poetic grace, deemed more than worthy of its subject by reviewers who praised its ability to evoke Thomas's lyrical intensity through subtle, period-appropriate instrumentation.^[30]^[25] As a standalone work, it marked a successful detour for Rhys into film scoring, aligning with the momentum of his solo career following his 2014 album American Interior, though it remained a niche indie offering without major commercial charting.^[31] The two-year delay from the film's 2014 premiere allowed the soundtrack to emerge amid rising interest in Rhys's compositional style.^[32]

Release

Premiere

The film had its world premiere on June 23, 2014, at the Edinburgh International Film Festival (EIFF), where it competed for the Michael Powell Award for Best British Feature Film and garnered early attention for its semi-biographical depiction of poet Dylan Thomas's 1950 visit to New York.^[33] The screening marked director Andy Goddard's feature debut and highlighted the film's black-and-white cinematography and literary themes, drawing interest from festival audiences and critics.^[34] Following the Edinburgh debut, Set Fire to the Stars had additional screenings at 2014 events, including its UK premiere on October 28 in London at the Ham Yard Hotel in Soho, attended by cast members such as Shirley Henderson.^[35] The UK theatrical release followed on November 7, 2014, handled by distributor Munro Film Services, which focused on independent cinema circuits to reach audiences interested in British drama and literary history.^[36] In the United States, the film arrived with a limited release on June 12, 2015, through Strand Releasing in select art-house theaters, targeting viewers drawn to biographical stories and Elijah Wood's performance.^[2] Promotional activities featured Q&A sessions with Goddard and stars Elijah Wood and Celyn Jones at the EIFF, where they discussed the project's ties to Dylan Thomas's legacy and the challenges of portraying the poet's chaotic energy.^[37]

Distribution and box office

The film received a limited theatrical release in the United Kingdom on 7 November 2014, distributed by Munro Film Services, following its premiere at the Edinburgh International Film Festival earlier that year.^[38] In the United States, Strand Releasing handled a limited rollout starting 12 June 2015, opening in just one theater and expanding modestly to three screens at its peak.^[39] Distribution remained confined primarily to these markets, with no major wide international campaign due to the film's modest £700,000 budget and independent production status; minor releases occurred in territories like Russia via AKM Movie Distribution Company.^[40] In the UK, Set Fire to the Stars debuted at number 38 on the box office chart, earning £2,000 in its opening weekend from eight sites, and ultimately grossed £8,334 over five weeks.^[41] The US release performed similarly modestly, opening to $1,132 and totaling $7,280 domestically over three weeks, reflecting its niche appeal as an art-house biographical drama with limited marketing.^[39] These figures underscore the film's commercial challenges as a low-budget indie, competing in a crowded marketplace without broad promotional support. Home media availability followed soon after, with DVD and Blu-ray releases in the US on 21 July 2015 via Strand Releasing, and earlier in the UK.^[42] The film later became accessible on streaming platforms, including Amazon Prime Video, expanding its reach beyond initial theatrical runs.^[43]

Reception

Critical response

Upon its release, Set Fire to the Stars garnered mixed reviews from critics. On Rotten Tomatoes, the film holds a 57% approval rating based on 42 reviews, with the site's consensus reading: "Set Fire to the Stars doesn't quite do justice to its legendary real-life protagonist, but thanks to Celyn Jones' spirited performance, it occasionally comes close."^[2] On Metacritic, it received a weighted average score of 49 out of 100 from 14 critics, signifying "mixed or average" reception, with 21% positive, 71% mixed, and 7% negative reviews.^[44] Critics frequently praised the performances of Elijah Wood as John Brinnin and Celyn Jones as Dylan Thomas, noting their chemistry and ability to convey the tension between admiration and exasperation.^[21] ^[20] Director Andy Goddard's atmospheric black-and-white cinematography and restrained style were highlighted for evoking the era's bohemian mood without excess.^[45] ^[20] The film was commended for its faithful nod to Thomas's charismatic yet self-destructive persona, drawing directly from Brinnin's 1955 memoir Dylan Thomas in America to ground the narrative in historical events.^[20] ^[21] However, reviewers often criticized the film's uneven pacing, which alternates between introspective lulls and rushed confrontations, and its over-reliance on dialogue-heavy scenes that prioritize verbal sparring over visual storytelling.^[21] ^[3] Many faulted it for failing to deeply explore themes of artistic inspiration and personal turmoil, settling instead for surface-level depictions of bohemian excess rather than penetrating Thomas's inner complexity.^[21] ^[16] Some described the effort as earnest but slight, lacking the fiery intensity to fully ignite its subject's legend.^[46] ^[47] Notable reviews included Odie Henderson's two-star assessment on the Roger Ebert site, which appreciated the intriguing dynamic between the poets but lamented the underdeveloped portrayal of Thomas.^[3] Variety called it a "diverting but insufficiently reckless" account, praising the technical polish while noting its superficial engagement with Thomas's work.^[21] Screen Daily deemed it an "intriguing and intermittently absorbing drama," though one that doesn't fully capture the poet's chaotic energy.^[16]

Accolades

Set Fire to the Stars received several accolades, primarily from Welsh and independent film festivals, recognizing its technical achievements, performances, and direction in the biographical drama genre. The film's limited theatrical release prevented major nominations at mainstream awards such as the BAFTAs or Academy Awards.^[48] At the 2015 British Academy Cymru Awards, celebrating excellence in Welsh film and television, the film earned seven nominations: Feature/Television Film, Original Music (Gruff Rhys), Make-up and Hair, Photography and Lighting, Writer (Celyn Jones), Costume Design, and Production Design. It secured three wins in the categories of Make-up and Hair (Andrea Dowdall-Goddard), Production Design (Edward Thomas), and Original Music (Gruff Rhys).^[48]^[49] The film was nominated at the 2014 Edinburgh International Film Festival for the Michael Powell Award for Best British Feature Film (director Andy Goddard) and the Audience Award.^[50] In 2016, at the Unrestricted View Film Festival, it won four awards: Best Feature Film (shared with Andy Goddard and others), Best Actor (Celyn Jones as Dylan Thomas), Best Editing, and Best Score. These honors also included four nominations in additional categories.^[50] These awards highlighted the film's strong portrayal of Dylan Thomas through Celyn Jones's performance and its contributions to Welsh cinema, enhancing visibility for Goddard's directorial debut and Jones's role.^[51]
