Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
It's both a romp and uncomfortably real.

Witty, briskly paced and consistently entertaining.

fresh:
Buffed to a typical HBO high gloss, Candelabra is a visual feast. It shines brightest in those moments where it captures the rhythms of a relationship in its first blush of affection and its seemingly inevitable collapse.

fresh:
The stunning and quite intimate performances by Michael Douglas and Matt Damon are award-worthy.

fresh:
The story is told less as a cause-and-effect narrative than as a collection of incidents that add up to something with a crushing emotional weight.
