Film Review: Dorian Gray (2009)


Tagline: Forever young. Forever cursed.

Plot: A corrupt young man somehow keeps his youthful beauty eternally, but a special painting gradually reveals his inner ugliness to all.

Genre: Drama-Thriller

Director: Oliver Parker

Actors: Ben Barnes, Colin Firth, Ben Chaplin

My Review: Very good. Let's see... stars Colin Firth (), Ben Barnes (✓), Ben Chaplin (), and based on Oscar Wilde's novel () - what more could I have asked for? Part disturbing and part creepy at times, this film let's you escape for a moment and realize that you shouldn't let yourself be a pushover or be a follower for approval (hint hint, Dorian Gray). Oh yeah, more importantly, you shouldn't sell your soul to the devil either.
