Review of Behind the Candelabra (2013) by Chris C — 17 Nov 2013
I'm sure this is a very good piece of technical cinema. However I did not like the story at all.
Yes I know it's based on real life events, that's exactly the point. I found the whole story rather disturbing in the sense that Lib asked his lover to get plastic surgery, how he wanted to become his father, brother and lover.
It made me sad because I can understand how desperate Lib was, having been surrounded by fakery most of his life but the way he went about treating Matt Damons character I felt was very wrong.
