Love and Rage is a historical drama movie set in the 19th century on the island of Manx. The story is centered around a young woman named Agnes MacDonnell (Greta Scacchi) who comes from a privileged background and falls in love with a lower-class man named James Lynchehaun (Daniel Craig). Despite the social pressure and disapproval from her family, Agnes chooses to marry James, and they move to a remote cottage on the island. James, however, turns out to be a difficult and abusive husband, and Agnes finds herself trapped in an unhappy and isolated marriage.

As Agnes becomes increasingly disillusioned with her life, she begins to develop a fascination with the controversial Irish landowner Charles Stewart Parnell (Stephen Dillane), who is leading the fight for Irish Home Rule. She becomes involved in Parnell's political activities and finds a new sense of purpose and meaning in her life.

As tensions between James and Agnes escalate, the situation becomes increasingly dangerous, and Agnes finds herself in a precarious and vulnerable position. The story reaches a dramatic climax as the conflicts between James, Agnes, and Parnell come to a head, with devastating consequences.

Love and Rage is a beautifully shot and well-acted movie that explores themes of love, class, power, and politics. The film is anchored by strong performances from the three leads, with Greta Scacchi delivering a particularly nuanced and complex portrayal of Agnes.

The movie also does an excellent job of capturing the historical context of 19th-century Ireland and the social and political tensions that were fueling the fight for Irish independence. The portrayal of Parnell as a charismatic and flawed leader is particularly compelling, and the film raises important questions about the nature of political power and moral responsibility.

Overall, Love and Rage is a powerful and engaging movie that will appeal to fans of historical dramas and character-driven stories. Its themes are timeless and universal, and its characters are richly drawn and compelling. Whether you are looking for a thought-provoking exploration of political power and responsibility, or a moving and emotionally resonant love story, Love and Rage is a film that will stay with you long after the credits roll.
