If you didn’t catch Steven Soderbergh’s FANTASTICALLY gay “Behind The Candelabra” this weekend, you missed something amazing. Do yourself a favor and seek it out. You won’t be disappointed. I’m not sure you can give spoiler warnings on vague allusions to a true story, but if you’re worried about having something “ruined” for you, you might want to duck out. Also, if you want something more substantive on the film, please read this fantastic review by our man in Cannes, Caspar Salmon. Otherwise? Enjoy the sequins and the 18 reasons why you’ll love this glittering bit of madness.
