AboveDeepBuggy Some things I liked some I did not.

Inclubabu Plot so thin, it passes unnoticed.

Ella-May O'Brien Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

Abegail Noëlle While it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.

Kirpianuscus realistic. complex. seductive. with a great chance - Stephen Fry in the lead role. not only for the physical resemblance. but for manner to remind an artist in different manner. for few memorable scenes - the speech in America, the family life, the trial and the subtle game between character and its creator. because Oscar Wilde existence remains one of the most inspired reflection of the birth of contemporary style to discover, use and live the life. the film gives inspired explanations about his generosity and about his blindness about social moral, about selfish and about his work, about the manner to assume art as part of hedonism. an admirable job does Jude Law in a role who, for a long period, was ambiguous. and that is one of the great virtues of film - to present a precise portrait not only for a great writer and his existence key moments but for a vision about life who dominates our time.

naomioosterhuis As often can be said about films, it of course is dramatized. This of course doesn't mean it doesn't serve well for what it is made for. It is a quite good film, I'd say, about Wilde's highs and depths. I do have to say that I am not fully pleased with their portrayal of Wilde. I think they have wanted too much to make him sympathetic and make him a victim of his age. I am one of the people who doesn't really see him as a victim though, so it can be me. Besides that I have to say that I think this portrayal of Wilde makes him less interesting by making him less eccentric and too innocent. I did like Jude Law's portrayal of Bosie and Sheen's of Robbie Ross, though I don't know how accurate those are,but as it is a film, that doesn't matter. I do have to say that I'm better at picking the points I thought could be better from something,so I probably don't think as badly about this films as it might look to you. I think I'd mostly recommend it to people who are low key interested in the life of Oscar Wilde. It definitely lets you know more about him and the film is quite good, but if you ain't really interested, it probably won't be worth watching.

The_late_Buddy_Ryan We yield to no one in our appreciation of Stephen Fry (except maybe for that woman who sings the song on YouTube about having his baby), but this tastefully appointed biopic was a bit of a letdown. Fry as Wilde sails serenely through the opening scenes, wowing a crowd of shirtless miners in Colorado, wedding a beautiful young admirer, then, suddenly squeamish after the birth of their second child, allowing himself to be seduced by another young, male admirer (Michael Sheen, the guy who always plays Tony Blair), trading up to Ioan Gruffud, then to JLaw himself, as Bosie. Fry and Law may have seemed like strong, perhaps inevitable, casting choices, but neither one brings much intensity to his role, and their relationship seems oddly uninvolving—more like tea with a favorite uncle than "feasting with panthers," in Wilde's famous phrase. A few sparks fly when Tom Wilkinson looms up, in a fine nutball turn, as Bosie's father, the Marquess of Queensbury, but the pace slackens again in the crucial courtroom scenes, and we had to resort to Wikipedia to find out why the MoQ thought that Bosie's brother Frank was getting "buggered by that Jew Rosebery" and what Frank's (alleged) suicide had to do with Wilde's disastrous decision to prosecute the marquess for libel. Jennifer Ehle, as the almost-all-forgiving Constance Wilde, Vanessa Redgrave and Zoë Wanamaker don't have much to do besides show up for their costume fittings; Orlando Bloom, who gets one brief scene as a cheeky hustler, looks great in a bowler hat, though I pity the LotR fans who got the DVD from Netflix because they saw his name in the cast list.

Claudio Carvalho The Irish writer Oscar Wilde (Stephen Fry) returns to London from America and gets married with Constance Lloyd Wilde (Jennifer Ehle) in the Victorian England. They have two children, Cyril and Vyvyan, and he makes lots of money with his successful plays. He gets close to the young Robbie Ross (Michael Sheen) and "leaves the closet", assuming his homosexuality and having brief affairs with youths. When he meets the corrupt Lord Alfred 'Bosie' Douglas (Jude Law), he falls in love for the young man; but Bosie's father goes to the court accusing the writer "posing sodomite" and Wilde is sentenced to two years of hard labor. His health is affected by the unhealthy conditions in prison and he has a short life in Paris after being discharged from the imprisonment. "Wilde" discloses the faithful biography of the Irish writer Oscar, with great and bold performances, witty dialogs and a beautiful reconstitution of the life in the Victorian period. My only remark is the excessive and repetitive homosexual scenes with the visible intention of pleasing the gay communities, but totally unnecessary to the context of the story. The running time of 118 minutes is too long and boring but could be shorter with the edition of the foregoing sequences. My vote is six.Title (Brazil): "Wilde"
