Keith B B @Okbullard Dec 11 This film is boring, slow, very tedious and not at all funny. Don't with this tripe. See more Jerod S @jeroduptown Oct 25 Slick rendention of Wilde's work that doesn't do a whole lot. See more alan g @agenser 05/14/2025 Why do these egotistical directors think they can do better than the source material? There is a reason why Wilde's play is a classic. Stop tampering with the original. You do not have the talent to improve it. Fair movie. Good cast. Bad script. See more Ethan T @RT27166968 08/09/2021 This Wilde adaptation brings out the farcical, fun frivolity of the original material in a fresh, new manner that both further enlivens proceedings and adds a few perplexing features. The cast all shine in various moments and seem wholeheartedly committed to the amusement. Firth and Everett, O'Connor and Witherspoon, Dench, and Massey and Wilkinson are all well-cast and solid at worst. Dench, especially, demands attention in all of her scenes and delivers every line as if it were made for her. The music provides great enjoyment, and Wilde's source material an immense advantage for any period comedy. Yes, some moments fall flat and some additions to visuals a bit unnecessary, but this film is a lark. See more 04/24/2021 Memorably faithful as an elegantly fresh reminder on why it's enjoyably funny thanks to a nice cast, albeit the inner additions that may have not been necessary as they only added on to the cheesy side of "affair".
