Uncomfortable? Yes. Astounding? Absolutely.

Rating: 10/10 (6 December 2018)

Okay, I want you to put yourself in the place of the actors in this film. If there were scenes in this movie that made you squirm and look away from the screen, imagine how it felt for Douglas and Damon. Those two gave their all for this picture and did an outstanding job. Is it the best movie ever made? No, but those two pulled it off without a flinch and made their way through scenes that surely made them uncomfortable and embarrassed. The story line flowed very well and gave us an in-depth look into the life of Liberace, which was flamboyant, disturbed and tragic. Douglas and Damon each deserved an Academy Award for their performances in this film. It's not really the film itself that rates 10 stars, but the performances alone elevated it to that level for me.
