Forbidden Passion: The Oscar Wilde Movie Audience Reviews

Patience Watson One of those movie experiences that is so good it makes you realize you've been grading everything else on a curve.

Lachlan Coulson This is a gorgeous movie made by a gorgeous spirit.

Jakoba True to its essence, the characters remain on the same line and manage to entertain the viewer, each highlighting their own distinctive qualities or touches.

Delight Yes, absolutely, there is fun to be had, as well as many, many things to go boom, all amid an atmospheric urban jungle.

polloy This was a brilliant series which was shown by the BBC back in 1986. Michael Gambon played the role of Oscar Wilde with real character and finesse. He has gone on to great things in the years since, but this series (unlike most of the BBC's drama output) has never been repeated. I cannot understand why. It was excellent, and should be shown again to a new generation of viewers.
