Behind The Candelabra

This was another film Liz wanted to see so, as always I jumped at the chance to see a film with my wife (she doesn't get out much..)
I'd heard good things about this movie so, despite the subject matter I was kind of looking forward to it.. Stephen Sodenburg is renown for his 'quirky' movies (Magic Mike being a case in point!) and here he delivers a movie that's both funny and moving, particularly towards the end. Michael Douglas and Matt Damon give career defining performances and there was also some nice supporting roles from , Dan Akroyd, Scott Bakula and Rob Lowe as an hilarious victim of his own plastic surgery!
This movie was originally made for TV in America but here the screening we were in was practically full..
Overall and entertaining (and occasionally cringe inducing) couple of hours and Liz enjoyed it too!
Rating ***1/2
