Fascinating movie

Rating: 9/10 (31 October 2014)

Greetings from Lithuania.
"Behind the Candelabra" (2013) is a truly amazing movie, filled with outstanding performances by two leads, and superb stuff by supporting actors. This is a great biopic, i didn't new nothing about the musician itself, but was so involved in a story unfolding on the screen. It's a superb picture in all directions. Michael Douglas is mindblowingly great in this picture, truly deserves all cudos and awards fro this picture - if it had been made for a big screen, it would be a guaranty Oscar for best performance. Writing, pacing, directing, everything works here to create one great picture.
Overall, this is not your typical biopic about heroes, it's about a man, with his wishes, weaknesses and life itself. Great picture.
