    Good little film about the life of Joe Orton. Alfred Molina is great as his lover Kenneth Halliwell. Plus an excellent script by Alan Bennet.

    wow i have just seen this movie 4 the 1st time n think that this is a good movie 2 watch...this has got a good cast of actors/actressess throughout this movie...i think that gary oldman is brilliant throughout this movie...i think that the director of this Art House & International, Drama, Comedy movie had done a good job of directing this movie because you never know what 2 expect throughout this movie...its a good movie 2 see..its an old classics movie but its still got a good cast of actors/actressess throughout this movie..i think that Alfred Molina (who plays doctor octopus in spider-man 2) is a great actor n hes done some good movies throughout

    As it goes on,this movie becomes more and more a Joe Orton story... appropriately! Tender and tragic, it is a tale well told... and Molina is fantastic!

    Gary Oldman at his best, and Alfred Molina is outstanding. A great film about a very interesting guy.

    This is one of those great films that you just won't see again because of the movie industry changes since then. If you know what Gary Oldman's true character is like and then see him as Joe Orton, it's amazing. It was said that Orton's agent said that there was no way he could play Orton, until he walked on set in character and she was astounded.

    Gary Oldman is an actor you can count on to dive into a character no matter who it is. He is excellent in this gay romp through the 60's.
