Although Behind the Candelabra may be Soderbergh's swan song, it's an uncanny resurrection of the creature that was Liberace.

Yes. It is fabulous. No other word for it, unless that word is "glorious."

Douglas brings a preening, nervous energy to a performance that may well prove to be the best of his career...

| Apr 4, 2018

Light but not slight, it is ultimately tender and sensationally acted, with both stars giving career-topping turns.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Sep 5, 2017

Soderbergh and LaGravenese go deep beneath this voyeuristic fascination with wealth, fame, and the secret lives of celebrities.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Sep 18, 2013

As fabulous as it should be and not a jot more or less.

| Jun 14, 2013

Perhaps Behind the Candelabra lacks depth of focus but nobody could complain of any lack of pure, unadulterated entertainment value.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jun 7, 2013

If showbusiness is the business of showing off, nobody did it better than Liberace.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jun 6, 2013

It's both a romp and uncomfortably real.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jun 4, 2013

Who'd have thought Michael Douglas and Matt Damon would make such an astonishing, convincing on-screen couple? Steven Soderbergh, that's who...

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jun 2, 2013

Balancing the borderline insane personality of Liberace with the intimate truth of the story told in Steven Soderbergh's Behind the Candleabra... is this remarkable film's greatest strength.

| Original Score: 4.5/5 | May 31, 2013

Witty, briskly paced and consistently entertaining.

Buffed to a typical HBO high gloss, Candelabra is a visual feast. It shines brightest in those moments where it captures the rhythms of a relationship in its first blush of affection and its seemingly inevitable collapse.

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | May 28, 2013

The stunning and quite intimate performances by Michael Douglas and Matt Damon are award-worthy.

| May 28, 2013

The story is told less as a cause-and-effect narrative than as a collection of incidents that add up to something with a crushing emotional weight.

| Original Score: A- | May 28, 2013

Thematic kin to Clint Eastwood's terrific J. Edgar, Behind the Candelabra is powerful, funny, and emotionally rigorous, and though it might act as a fiery and forceful resignation, it also serves as an uncommonly heartfelt Dear John letter.

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | May 27, 2013

This is one of the strangest and strongest 온라인카지노추천 movies in memory.

| May 27, 2013

The story as told is just too depressing, too empty and, most of all, too dead and gone.

| May 24, 2013

Soderbergh is clearly captivated, as are we all, by the rot underlying the glitz, but even with Douglas' nuanced performance, the film simplifies too many things.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | May 24, 2013

Whether the biopic Behind the Candelabra ends up being a swan song for director Steven Soderbergh or merely the last entry in one phase of a long career, it's an impressive work.
