Genre:

Dorian Gray is very handsome -- and very cursed. Young Dorian arrives fresh on the London social scene and is taken under the wing of Lord Henry Wotton who introduces him to the seedy pleasures of London life. When Dorian sees how incredible he looks in a newly painted picture of himself, he swears to do whatever it takes to look as young and handsome in real life as he does in the picture -- forever. His stunning good looks and charm soon attract the celebrity lifestyle and everything that it brings. Dorian finds himself slipping deeper and deeper into a world of sin, sex and celebrity, seemingly without any consequences. But as his actions become increasingly evil, for how long can he hide the secret behind his eternal youth?

You can see where the director wanted to go with the movie but overall it seems to fall flat. In all the movie felt more like a mini-series that would you see on tv.

Not much too say, Colin Firth is excellent in this film but apart from that it's just ok. Worth watching if there's nothing else!

Not as bad as I feared it might be. Really liked Colin Firth's character and Ben Barnes does a good job too as the devilish Dorian. Its stylish but I did feel that this movie needed a bit more action or something to liven it up at times. Still worth a watch though.

Great story made into a cheap horror and a vessel for a pretty leading man.

A good adaptation of the classic. The acting is spot on with Ben Barnes really suiting the role.
