Frank and Ava

About This Movie

Frank and Ava presents a rather intimate glimpse into the tumultuous romance between Sinatra and Gardner amidst a backdrop of Hollywood's golden age. The pacing feels deliberate, allowing for that slow burn of desire and desperation. Oblowitz captures a gritty atmosphere that contrasts starkly with the glamour of the era, which is refreshing. The performances are strong, particularly the way the actors embody the complexities of these real-life legends—Sinatra's vulnerability is palpable, while Gardner's allure is almost haunting. It's not just biopic fluff; the film dives deep into the personal demons and societal pressures of the time, making it a dense character study that lingers long after the credits roll.
