'...a dominating screen performance in the story of a man who has the world at his command, but whose tragedy is his inability to command himself'
Alexander Walker - Evening Standard

"Wilde life makes for artful pic"

'...manages to combine an upfront portrayal of the scribe's gayness with an often moving examination of his broader emotions and artistic ideals'.
Derek Elley - Variety

"Compelling"

'....Stephen Fry as flamboyant Oscar Wilde is impressive and moving'.
