Full Plot Details

In a cheap Parisian hotel room Oscar Wilde lies on his death bed. The past floods back, taking him to other times and places. Was he once the most famous man in London? The artist crucified by a society that once worshipped him? Under the microscope of death he reviews the failed attempt to reconcile with his long suffering wife Constance, the ensuing reprisal of his fatal love affair with Lord Alfred Douglas and the warmth and devotion of Robbie Ross, who tried and failed to save him from himself. Travelling through Wilde's final act and journeys through England, France and Italy, the transience of lust is laid bare and the true riches of love are revealed. It is a portrait of the dark side of a genius who lived and died for love.

Movie Reviews

Metro (UK) - 10/10 by Larushka Ivan-ZadehIt may sound bleak but there's a captivating warmth, humour and vigour to this heartfelt passion project. That's because Rupert Everett not only lives and breathes Wilde but also his world.
New York Magazine/Vulture - 10/10 by David EdelsteinThe Happy Prince proves that a film can be both bleak and warm-spirited, as befits its mighty subject.
Cineuropa - 10/10 by Kaleem AftabIt's just a shame that ultimately this story and its action start to meander, rather than punching home.
Times (UK) - 10/10 by Kevin MaherIt's a fearless, committed, and award-worthy turn, and emblematic of a first-time film-maker at his most expressive and most affecting.
Fresh Fiction - 9/10 by Courtney HowardEverett finds a less fascinating avenue into the vagabond's tragic life. At least it looks gorgeous.
Los Angeles Times - 9/10 by Gary GoldsteinIt’s a film of decided care and forethought.
Kaplan vs. Kaplan - 9/10 by Jeanne KaplanIt's such a gorgeous, sumptuous film with stunning cinematography and a hauntingly beautiful soundtrack
Film Threat - 9/10 by Tiffany TchobanianEverett looks at home in this role and breathes new life into Wilde. The Happy Prince proves that Rupert Everett was born to tell the tumultuous story of a kindred spirit. Oscar Wilde would be proud.
Sight and Sound - 9/10 by Michael LeaderIt's a performance worth indulging, even if, on the whole, Everett's impassioned project isn't.
Minneapolis Star Tribune - 9/10 by Colin Covert"The Happy Prince" is a genuine passion project, a creative act existing completely in its own space and on its own terms.
