British actor Fry is such a natural fit as the intelligent, witty dandy, Wilde, that when his casting was secured, the makers of this biopic must have known their work was pretty much done.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Dec 8, 2021

A tony biopic that manages to combine an upfront portrayal of the scribe's gayness with an often moving examination of his broader emotions and artistic ideals.

Stephen Fry is extraordinary as Oscar Wilde, but the movie lacks balance and finesse and comes across as a 온라인카지노추천 movie of the week.

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | May 26, 2006

If anybody was born to play Oscar Wilde, it must have been Stephen Fry: not only does he look like the Green Carnation Man, but he himself is often portrayed as being too clever, too complex for his own good.

There's never been a better story about the misadventures of one of the world's greatest writer. Fry should have been Oscar nominated, and Law is equally electrifying.

Full Review | Original Score: 5/5 | Feb 10, 2003

Julian Mitchell's script freely doles out all kinds of pithy, self-conscious bon mots among its cast, but doesn't bother to flesh out convincingly the emotional conflicts and dramas in which the characters find themselves.

| Original Score: D+ | Jan 10, 2003

Fry is great, though the film struggles to make a lasting impression.

Call it "The Picture of Oscar Gray" or "The Importance of Being Overly Earnest." Somberness aside, "Wilde" is still worth placing a green carnation in your lapel for and scampering off to see.

Full Review | Jan 4, 2003

A plodding, downbeat drama with all potential for mirth drained from it.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jun 5, 2002

This tale about the genius of paradox presents its own curious puzzle: how a life of such epic passion and tragedy can elicit so little emotional pull.
