one word...WOW!!!!

Rating: 8/10 (19 June 2013)

There is one word that describes Behind the Candelabra and that is amazing! When I first heard about this HBO film I was very skeptical for many reasons the main one being that I knew little, if anything, about Liberace. This film changed that. It was very well done, Matt Damon was excellent, possibly his best role, and Michael Douglas was wonderful as usual in another example of him being one of the elite actors in cinematic history.
Definitely shocking the first time you see how sexually graphic this movie is and it can be a shot to the system the first couple times you see Douglas and Damon kiss and...do other things...but please don't see them Michael Douglas and Matt Damon see them as Liberace and Scott Thorson. The best HBO movie ever without a doubt.
