Great acting, but the movie is so-so

Rating: 5/10 (28 December 2014)

Although I thought all the acting was great, I was not really enthused about this movie. It shows Liberace - who we all know was gay - in a relationship that ended similarly to others before it had. There was no great revelation or interesting point to key on. Liberace dies and the movie pretty much ends. I'm wondering why this movie was made. And I support gay rights. One of my good friends is gay. So this doesn't have to do with discrimination. It's really just that there was nothing of any real depth here. I think this was based on the book by Scott Thorson and if the movie is any indication, it was just written (and the movie was just filmed) to make some cash. There is nothing that truly contributes to understanding Liberace at anything other than a superficial level.
