jacey: (blue eyes)
Yeah, OK, not our usual style of movie I admit, but H and I were curious and, having grown up with Liberace on TV, thought it would be interesting. And it was. Michael Douglas as Liberace and Matt Damon as his (much younger) lover, Scott, were both brilliant. The story was slight (as biopics often are) concentrating on the relationship between the two men, but the exploration of that relationship was fascinating.

Kudos to the makeup department. Michael Douglas looked uncannily like the Liberace still skulking in my memory and the transformation of the faces, before and after plastic surgery, was very well done, as was the makeup in a later scene which I can't really mention without spoilers.

Well worth seeing.
