Film Review - Behind The Candelabra

Wow. Whilst Liberace is a distant memory to me, but this has truly brought those memories back vividly. The cast are absolute phenomenal, with Damon and Douglas both diving into their roles with no sense of self-consciousness. Shame it didn't get a cinema release in the US, as they'd surely be the Oscar favourites to beat. Fingers crossed for the BAFTAs! The only criticism would be the drug-fuelled clichés the film covers in the final act, but given it's a true story it's a churlish complaint, even if it does dampen the film's grin-inducing enjoyability.
