Posted: 5/26/13 at 2:15pmI have already seen this. Looking forward to everyones opinions. Many of you will claim it is delicious camp. But the performances are too good for that. Very interested to hear reactions by the older people from the gay community that understand what it was to be part of those times.

Posted: 5/26/13 at 2:49pmI'm not going to be able to watch it tonight...but I will definitely catch it when it re-runs. It looks interesting...it has a solid cast, director and screenwriter.

Posted: 5/26/13 at 6:28pmCannot wait. Supposedly Rob Lowe is a scene-stealer. And Marvin Hamlisch's last contribution to film.

The makeup work on everybody is top flight, particularly in walking the fine line in how Damon and Lowe's makeup in particular are pretty ruinous while not self-consciously so. Debbie Reynolds' makeup makes her unrecognizable. She'll get nominated but it is sort of a glorified cameo.
Is it formulaic, you bet but this is one of the better stuff HBO has been a part of in the movie/mini-series rounds since John Adams.

Posted: 5/26/13 at 11:41pmaw Janey, I'm sorry I didn't mean anything by it. I just meant Rob Lowe wasn't that unrecognizable. Was he? Or maybe he was. He was great, though!
#23BEHIND THE CANDELABRA! What did you think?
Posted: 5/27/13 at 12:15amIt was very entertaining, but made Liberace out to be a monster. Was that the point? Douglas and Damon were incredible, but Rob Lowe stole the show.
