About This Item
W.E. looks at the fabled romance between American Wallis Simpson and Britain's King Edward VIII, who famously gave up the throne to marry the woman he loved. More than six decades later, their story enthralls a young woman named Wally Winthrop, who thinks she sees in their devotion a stark contrast to her own unhappy marriage and an example to follow as she searches for the meaning of true love. The cast features Abbie Cornish, Andrea Riseborough, James D'Arcy and Oscar Isaac.
