December 13, 2008The acting and music are really good, but focuses way too much on his homosexual interests and weird-as-hell personal life. God bless Ashley Judd.

August 15, 2007A sad movie. Not my favorite type of music. It's well acted by Kevin Kline and Ashley Judd.

October 11, 2008An excellent homage to the great music of the past. I wish biography movies could be made without seeing the whole thing as flashbacks from the POV of the main character, it worked pretty well here (though as it usually does, it seemed unnecessary).

Claudia Puig, USA Today
Kevin Kline does a fine job portraying Porter as he's written. But the script is missing much of the complexity and some of the humanity of the composer. full review

Moira MacDonald, Seattle Times
Visually, De-Lovely is a treat; the costumes and colors are lavish and intricate, with the movie occasionally fading elegantly into art deco black and white. full review
July 2, 2004
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
The movie contains more music than most musicals, yet is not a concert film because the songs seem to rise so naturally out of the material and illuminate it. full review

Ty Burr, Boston Globe
Thoughtful, creative, and generally worthy of its subject, with sins that are more of ambition and miscalculation than of execution. full review
June 17, 2004
Peter Travers, Rolling Stone
In voice, manner, patrician charm and private torment, Kevin Kline is perfection as legendary composer Cole Porter. full review
