User review:
Wilde is a film about a man’s passions destroying his life. Oscar Wilde was a very interesting man and discovered his dormant homosexuality late in life. The film was very tragic in a lot of ways. The love story between Wilde and Douglas was venomous and sweet. The performances by Jude Law and Stephen Fry were top notch. The direction was a little sluggish I thought and the film could have been better paced. The production design was great though and I loved listening to Wilde’s sarcasm of the British class system. If you are a fan of Oscar Wilde, you will probably like this film more than the average movie fan.
