Behind the Candelabra (2013) - Steven Soderbergh

Liberace is fabulous. Michael Douglas is creepily eerie as he should be and Matt Damon shines as his much younger lover. Neither character is really likeable, but both are humanised to the point of emotive feeling.
Soderbergh seems to be one of the few directors able to churn out good films on a nearly yearly basis. It's the story that is this movie's downfall. Parts just aren't as interesting when you know what's coming, even if you don't know which protagonists fault it is.
