Recommended, with a few reservations. It is not a spectacular directorial debut for Rupert Everett. At times, the structure is confusing without apparent purpose, as if point E leads to points A and C to point D to point B (it is easy to lose one's place...is this now or then, England or France, etc.?). The cinematography, too, is a bit mystifying, alternating randomly, or so it seems, between crisp, formal framing and an on-the-fly hand-held aesthetic. BUT it is a triumph for Everett as an actor and, to a degree, as a writer. Individual scenes are frequently hilarious or poignant, or both, and Everett displays enormous fascination with and empathy for Oscar Wilde in his final years, a colossus of dramaturgy and humor abruptly left destitute and infirm by society's prejudices. And his performance, caught between whimsy and misery, is excellent; he was superb two decades ago in Wilde adaptation The Importance of Being Earnest, and it is hard to imagine any other actor so easily vanishing into the role of the writer himself. He finds the music in every caustic bon mot and the melancholy in every gaze. An ensemble of other fine talents, including Colin Firth, Emily Watson, and Tom Wilkinson, lend him able support.
