This movie had so so much potential, Oscar Wildes life is so interesting but this movie really didn’t do it that much justice.

Alright that was depressing...

Not sure how to feel about this movie.
On one hand, it could have been a lot better, but on the other, it had its own charm...
The scenes with the two brothers though 😞 and when Colin Firth appeared I couldn't help but make the connection to him as Henry in the Dorian Gray movie!
Rupert Everett was good, but I still have my own thoughts about Oscar Wilde after reading The picture of Dorian Gray, and that probably affected my viewing.

Anyway, I really like the title of this!

Clearly a passion project for Rupert Everett, 'The Happy Prince' is a faithful approximation of the last dark days of Oscar Wilde's life. Whether or not you can dedicate a couple of hours to your life to it or not is another thing, but if you were my grandmother on a Sunday afternoon and this was on the ABC, I guarantee she'd watch it and afterwards say "Well, that was lovely."
