This biography soars toward the Academy Awards on the backs of its producer, director and actors. Kevin Kline proves you don't have to look like the "Real Person" to bring his spirit to life and Ashley Judd (contrary to some unfair and plain wrong reviews) gives us a strong Linda Porter, a complex and vulnerable Linda Porter who, as is usually the case, finally succumbs to her life choices with an uncommon grace and courage.
Those people in the audience who had no idea about Mr. Porter's sexual preference, oh'd and ah'd in the beginning. Then they learned that all the talent in the world, all the money in the world, all the joyous hedonism of youth in the world - all of it falls in upon itself as age overcomes and destroys the arrogance of youth.
Irwin Winkler has given us an unflinching portrait of an unusually talented man, an unusual life, and a painful end to that life.
My palms were ice cold and I felt drained as this film concluded - not because it failed as a project, but because it succeeded so well.
DE-LOVELY is not an easy movie but it is a brilliant one.
