Terrific. First and foremost, I have to admit I knew nothing about Liberace - other than his name - before viewing this, therefore I don't know how much of it is accurate, made-up, exaggerated etc. That didn't stop me enjoying it, though. Michael Douglas (Liberace) and Matt Damon (Scott) do do a lot of the heavy lifting, both of them give tremendous performances - especially Douglas. They actually worked very well together, perfect casting. I found Rob Lowe amusing in this, not sure if I was supposed to but I did - not in a negative way in regards to Lowe, just the character of Dr. Jack Startz. Debbie Reynolds (Frances) and Dan Aykroyd (Seymour) also appear, two well-known people playing relatively small roles. The film looks great, it perhaps lasts a little too long when all is said and done but it didn't hamper my enjoyment all that much. 'Behind the Candelabra' is a very good biopic.

Wow, that was -like the liberace shows in Las Vegas- quite a show. It was a great love story and a hell of a cast. Besides that it was the gayest movie that i ever saw. But the love story was that good that i could really feel with the couple of the movie. I heard the movie should be good. Now i think it was even better (especially Douglas und Damon).

I expected so much more from this movie, but it was just utterly boring. Not funny at all. I turned it off halfway in, because I could not bare it anymore.

Michael Douglas (Liberace) and Matt Damon (Scott) do do More
