Aaron C Not read the book but it's on my TBR pile, I can't imagine this being even close to the book. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 04/24/25 Full Review Johann D. M This dark fantasy horror film based on Oscar Wilde's 1890 novel The Picture of Dorian Gray, tells the story of an attractive Englishman whose loveliness and spirit are captured in an enchanted painting that keeps him from aging. His portrait becomes further tainted with every sin he commits while he remains young and handsome. Though the gripping story is supported by strong performances from the rest of the cast, it is clear that this role was not a good fit for Ben Barnes. The film suffers from poor pacing and a lack of cohesion, with an ending that feels abrupt and rushed. Additionally, the adaptation strays significantly from the original novel, with many changes that do not serve the story well. However, the costumes are stunning—unfortunately, they are a highlight in a film that could have been far better executed. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 10/16/24 Full Review Dylan L Horrible adaptation. They change everything in the book. The most important parts were changed so the meaning of the actions change as well. I do not recommen to watch this movie. Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 09/11/24 Full Review Jelisije J Not the greatest adaptation and definitely not the most insulting. At least they get the character of Dorian Grey correct .....the third act felt a bit rushed though sad to say. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/17/24 Full Review Henryk N It's just my favourite movie. I love the visuals, the clothes, the acting, the dialogues. It is a bit different from the book but it isn't worse! It is really good and i will recommend it to everyone ❤️ Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/18/24 Full Review Reinhard W Very close to the Book… and an overall fine Production. Scince there are so many Versions out there, it might (!) get the Audience in a State of „Boredom" like: „Oh NO… not ANOTHER one!" BUT…; IF you get involved and FOLLOW the story with your eyes open, you WILL love this adaptation of the classic. After all, there's never a dull moment because good camera work, production design and good acting... keep your attention! A bit "OFF Topic: I found myself wishing that Mister KUBRIK had ever tackled this material! WHAT kind of "painting" would THAT have been…?!?!? Finally, for me it‘s a well earned 3,5 solid (!) Stars!
