Wilde

...Stephen Fry comes across surprisingly right, cutting a flamboyant but stressed figure as the great Oscar Wilde. He is impressive and moving in this account of Wilde's rise and ruin.

...star Stephen Fry, a British author, actor and comedian who looks a lot like Wilde and has many of the same attributes: He is very tall, he is somewhat plump, he is gay, he is funny and he makes his conversation into an art.

...a thrilling, enthralling and intelligent cinematic re-telling of the great grandmother of celebrity scandals, the century-old equivalent of a modern smeared-across-the-first-six-pages gutter press exposé.

Morley was 52 when he made the picture, six years older than Wilde was at his death, but this age disparity doesn't effect Morley's brilliant performance one iota.
