Maybury and his cinematographer, John Mathieson, make the film itself look like a Bacon... A viewer who has never seen a Bacon would be able to leave this film and identify one instantly in a gallery.

a celluloid portrait every bit as grimly disturbing as anything that Bacon himself produced, and far too darkly imaginative to be tarred with the 'biopic' brush.

May 08, 2009"...we all have nightmares. They can't be as horrific as life." Deep, dark and unsettling. An artful obliteration of the line between genius and madness.Randy T Super Reviewer

Jan 11, 2009as dark & twisted as some of Bacon's works. surprising to see an early and vulnerable performance from Craig. this movie doesn't sugar coat what a bastard Bacon was, and for that it gains points with me. i'd still love to see a more all-encompassing biopic on Bacon.chase _ Super Reviewer
