Oscar Wilde - you may have heard the name, you may even know what he did for a living, but did you know what he was like privately? I can only speak for myself: I didn't. I had no idea he was homosexual. That does not take anything away from his work and all the things he wrote. It was hard to sustain or even survive with that sexual preference though, at the time he lived.
Even today there is still a lot of hate against people who identify as gay. Mostly disguised as religious believe, people get a lot of hate. It is more than a shame we have not overcome these things and seem still not able to just let people live their lifes the way it makes them happy. Now go back over a century. As I said, I had no idea about his sexual preference, so I didn't know what this would be about and I also cannot attest if the movie depicts things as close to the truth as they happened. But the story is quite engaging and the actors do the rest. If you are not easily offended by what this movie is about, it is quite decently told
