Behind The Candelabra (TV)

"Superbly scripted, brilliantly directed, smart but never smarmy and led by a lead performance by Michael Douglas so good you often forget you’re watching an actor rather than the famous character he’s playing" 

"The most bigscreen-worthy film that director Steven Soderbergh has made since 'Che'" 

"The rampantly heterosexual Douglas might seem a stretch as Liberace, but from that first moment on the Vegas stage he nails the character, which quickly transcends mimicry for sympathetic evocation" 

"As a black comedy, and as a portrait of celebrity loneliness, 'Behind the Candelabra' is very stylish and effective, and Damon and Douglas give supremely entertaining performances (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of five)" 

"This is luxury cinema in the lucid Soderberghian style. His analytical camera turns Liberace's Vegas mansion (...) into a terrifying mirror-hall of opulence: a place where guilt has somehow morphed into gilt (...) rating: ★★★★★ (out of five)"
