Reviews:

Finally a film that suits Soderbergh’s voyeuristic and clinical style.
It’s starting to look like 2013 is Soderbergh’s year. Side Effects and Behind The Candelabra seem to be my favourite of his career so far, though that’s only relatively, as I’m not a big fan of him. I do have Out Of Sight on my to see list coming up soon and I do need to give Traffic another watch before I make any final assessment on him. Although Soderbergh is frequently the director, cinematography and editor on his projects, he may be efficient but he’s far too clinical, pushing the audience as an observer that it’s difficult to feel emotionally involved in his films. I can’t get excited for his half-baked premises that most likely haven’t been fulfilled to their potential. However, Behind The Candelabra may be the first film I’ve seen of his that suits his style ideally. His style is still distant and voyeuristic, but in this bizarre world where Liberace adopts his lover for a son and pays for plastic surgery to make him look like himself, it feels more deliberate to keep us at a distance.

Instead, the scenes of dramatic conflict, decision and choice are played off for jokes and it’s really effective, always earning belly laughs with its brilliant one-liners without feeling like it’s silly. Perhaps its nervous laughter but it makes for an entertaining and interesting film. Michael Douglas is terrific as Liberace. I’ve never seen him take a character on like this. He’s nearly up there with Sean Penn’s Milk. It feels like it’s been a while since Matt Damon has been in films I’ve wanted to watch and with this and Elysium, I’ve forgotten how reliable a lead he is. The characters inhabit a flashy world, but its kept on the costumes and sets which are incidental more than anything and the style of the film is kept subtle, besides a great choice of swooping cameras. It does have its flaws with nearly soap opera-esque structure and conflict but my expectations were very low so this is a pleasant surprise. I think I even prefer it to Side Effects.

7/10

Good Performances!
‘Behind the Candelabra’ offers Good Performances by Two Terrific Actors — Michael Douglas & Matt Damon. Enacting Liberace & his lover Scott Thorson respectively, Douglas & Damon are uninhibited & fearless in their portrayals. Its their sheer work here that outdoes everything else!

‘Behind the Candelabra’ is Based on the tempestuous, yet troubled, 6-year relationship between Liberace & his (much younger) lover, Scott Thorson.

Steven Soderbergh Directs ‘Behind the Candelabra’ with confidence, but the Adapted Screenplay Written by Richard LaGravenese is half-baked & monotonous. While the relationship between Liberace & Scott Thorson is well-developed, the sequences, after a while, get so repetitive, that I was getting restless. The Final Act is depressing, but Soderbergh handles it with enough patience. I wasn’t disappointed by Soderbergh’s Direction at all, but the Adapted Screenplay did underwhelm me.

Performance-Wise: Michael Douglas as Liberace & Matt Damon as Scott Thorson, are fearless & uninhibited. Their on-screen chemistry, also, is pitch-perfect. Rob Lowe, in a smaller part, is earnest. Dan Aykroyd is adequate.

On the whole, ‘Behind the Candelabra’ works due to its strong leading performances.
