Leave your thoughts about Wilde.
| San Francisco ExaminerDavid ArmstrongWilde is, laudably, not presented as a simple icon or martyr of the gay movement, but as a flawed, admirable, attractive, disappointing human being. |
| New York TimesJanet MaslinMr. Fry's warmly sympathetic performance finds the gentleness beneath the wit. He conveys the sense of a man at the mercy of forces he cannot control, not least of them his own brittle genius. |
| CompuserveHarvey S. KartenThough director Brian Gilbert's name has hardly been a household word, his Wilde is conclusively the best of the three accounts of the author's life to date. |
| Internet ReviewsSteve RhodesEven if his life did turn horribly tragic in the end, Wilde lived it with great gusto up until then, and audiences are apt to find this sublime picture just as wonderfully satisfying as Wilde found the majority of his life. |
| Austin ChronicleMarjorie BaumgartenWilde examines the nature of love, its obsessiveness, self-abnegation, generosity, blindness, and transcendence. |
| Kalamazoo GazetteJames SanfordIn his lavish telling of a tragic story, director Brian Gilbert holds back very little. ...The film also makes no attempt to conceal the walking paradox that was Wilde himself. |
| Time OutStephen GarrettIf anybody was born to play Oscar Wilde, it must have been Stephen Fry: not only does he look like the Green Carnation Man, but he himself is often portrayed as being too clever, too complex for his own good. |
| Film Journal InternationalBeth PorterA gelid, often charmless affair which flirts with us, but ultimately fails to consummate the relationship. |
| Los Angeles TimesKevin ThomasLikely to remain the definitive screen treatment of Oscar Wilde for years to come. |
| Sunday Times (Australia)Shannon J. HarveyThere's never been a better story about the misadventures of one of the world's greatest writer. Fry should have been Oscar nominated, and Law is equally electrifying. |
