7/10
Unflinching Realism
22 May 2001
This frank account of famed playwright Joe Orton boasts three stellar performances. Gary Oldman sinks into the playwright's character with remarkable skill. Alfred Molina is appropriately irritating and erratic as Orton's companion, and Vanessa Redgrave is suave and stylish as the playright's agent. This biographical script pulls no punches in relaying the Orton's private lifestyle, while his career success is given rather short shrift. An insightful and informative presentation.
