Douglas nailed it

Rating: Null/10 (28 May 2013)

Watched this on it's HBO premiere on Saturday night....brilliant. Was very impressed by performance by Michael Douglas - he truly embodied Liberace, even down to his speech and mannerisms. Matt Damon was wonderful, he captured the character's overwhelming awe of his predicament. Took me a minute or two to recognize Rob Lowe.
Douglas's Liberace was not nicest guy, clearly, but he was weirdly likable even as he tried to turn Damon's character into a clone of himself.
Very well done. The set direction and costumes were fabulously over the top, just like Liberace. 8/10
