Loved for being unique. Hated for being different.
Oscar Wilde is a married playwright who has occasionally indulged his weakness for male suitors. After much toil, Wilde debuts 'The Importance of Being Earnest' in London, and a chat at the theatre with Lord Alfred 'Bosie' Douglas leads to a full-fledged romance. However, this affair leads to a legal dispute with Lord Alfred's oppressive father, the Marquess of Queensberry, and, given the local anti-gay laws, Wilde is jailed. Wilde's vast intellect helps him survive until he regains his freedom.

If you're not crying yet just a little fact that while Oscar was on his death bed, Robbie Ross was by his side the entire time, up until he passed 😭. To make things even worse, after Wilde's death he published his unpublished works, and was taking down everyone publishing Oscar's works ilegally, taking care of him and his legacy even after death. The movie was really well done in my opinion. Personally I don't think Alfred ever loved Oscar. Wilde loved Bosie very much though, it's really sad honestly. I'm really sorry for Robbie though, not only was he blaming himself for the emprisonment of Wilde, but he was in love with him the entire time, and had to endure Alfred using Oscar (which Oscar didn't seem to get/mind even though Ross talked to him about it). Grest movie about a great author.
if someone is interested in Wilde's life, this movie is probably a good begining. Concise, well produced and unique. Robbie's character is loyal.
