Review of The Happy Prince (2018) by Fabian J — 02 Nov 2018

An oddly charmless performance by Rupert Everett fails to capture Wide's genius albeit we join him at the end of his life. It's not unenjoyable and there are some lovely touches but there's a deal of awkward exposition and the feeling that rather than it being an accurate biographical portrait it' a series of staged tableaux in a theatrical presentation.

Beautifully shot but sadly lacking in heart.
