  • Critic Reviews of "Prick Up Your Ears"

    Variety
    March 26, 2009

    Gary Oldman is excellent as Orton, right down to remarkable resemblance, while Alfred Molina creates both an amusing and tormented Halliwell. Vanessa Redgrave takes top honors, though, as a compassionate and benign agent.

    Time Out
    June 24, 2006

    Oldman is brilliant; Molina's Halliwell less subtle; and the film's dissection of cottaging quaintly amusing.

    New York Times
    May 20, 2003

    The film covers the main events of the Orton life in a manner that is nothing less than distracted. One has little understanding of the fatal intensity - and need - that kept Orton and Halliwell together.

    Washington Post
    January 01, 2000

    Like "Casablanca," "Diva," "Clockwork Orange" and countless other quality-cult films, "Prick Up Your Ears" has an indefinable idiosyncrasy that makes you want to come back for more.

    Washington Post
    January 01, 2000

    The filmmakers have shown great intellectual taste. But it's not the kind of taste that's illuminating.

    Chicago Sun-Times
    January 01, 2000

    The great performances in the movie are, of course, at its center. Gary Oldman plays Orton and Alfred Molina plays Halliwell, and these are two of the best performances of the year.

    Film4
    August 20, 2012

    A brilliant and painfully raw portrait of a troubled, a tragic relationship.

    TV Guide
    August 20, 2012

    Oldman, fresh from his triumph as Sex Pistol Sid Vicious in Sid and Nancy, is the key and holds it all together.

    PopMatters
    November 16, 2009

    Molina stares down all clichés, veering away from effeminate tones when they would be most convenient and avoids trapping Ken into a brooding madman.

    Guardian
    April 07, 2007

    Stands up extraordinarily well: mostly because of two outstanding central performances, Gary Oldman as the talented, blase Orton, and Alfred Molina as his thwarted, Hancock-esque murderer Kenneth Halliwell.

    Empire Magazine
    April 06, 2007

    A decent snapshot of pre-Beatle Britain, this is much more a fact-based gay melodrama than a trenchant portrait of Joe Orton's life, loves and art.

    BBC.com
    April 03, 2007

    It is repetitive at times, occasionally lagging, but the performances by Oldman and especially Molina simply demand your attention.
