Laying bare the homosexuality he hid from public view, it’s hardly the red-carpet treatment the fiercely litigious pianist dreamt of.
Nor is it the fantastically kitsch biopic that some anticipated.
Rather, it’s a witty, classy study of relationships, sex and stardom.
Douglas pulls out all the stops while – somehow – avoiding caricature in a glittering celebrity portrait. If Soderbergh’s swansong doesn’t always mine great depths, it gives fabulous surface.
This movie was surprisingly entertaining. The ads for it didn't do it justice. You have to watch it.
