Great Performances! 7/10

Rating: 7/10 (13 October 2013)

Review: This is a great movie which is based around the love story between Liberace and Scott Thorson. The acting is superb and very believable, which gives you an insight into the weird and flamboyant world of Liberace. It's hard to to imagine that people actually lived in a world like this but after watching the documentary on the DVD, it does bring the movie more to life. It's based around the book by Scott Thorson, so a lot of the storyline is true, and the events really did happen. I have always been a big fan of biopics, and this one is definitely one that I would recommend because of the great performances and direction. Enjoyable!
Round-Up: Whilst watching this movie it's hard to remember that you are watching actors who have played Bourne and Gecko because of how well they play gay men. The movie really brings the best out of Matt Damon and Michael Douglas who deserve an Academy award for there performances. Even Dan Akroyd, who plays Liberace manager, and Rob Lowe are great in the movie, along with Scott Bakula who is famous for Quantum Leap. The film does make you want to find out more about Liberace because of the world that he created from his amazing talent as a pianist.
Budget: N/A Worldwide Gross: $2.6million
I recommend this movie to people who are into there biopics which are based around the world of Liberace and his relationship with Scott Thorson. 7/10
