Behind the Candelabra

Michael Douglas, Matt Damon

Nice lead performances made this worth watching. The story is the story of all relationships...the first flush of love and excitement, the gradual fading into comfortable familiarity, finally degenerating into open resentment and hostility. The difference here is one is an aging closet queen who is a world-renowned performer, the other a lost young pretty boy.

The sets/locations with their 'palatial kitsch' vibe was fun at first but quickly became normal, like they would in life. This was billed as Steven Soderbergh's last film...it was a good one to finish with.
