Beyond the Candelabra Review, Liberace Portrayal and Michael Douglas

A review of the HBO film "Beyond the Candelabra" criticizes the portrayal of Liberace by Michael Douglas as a "backstabber" and a "pervert." The film's focus on the relationship between Liberace and Scott Thorson, played by Matt Damon, is described as a grueling and unflattering depiction of the entertainer's private life. Speculation suggests the film may serve as a posthumous critique of Liberace's legacy rather than a celebratory biopic.
