Why it’s a Weeknight Watch

With soft box office and little lasting buzz, it's a mixed bag. Fine if it's on; don't plan your night around it.

Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.

Is it for you?

Who'll love it
A natural pick for readers who like to compare the book and the screen version and anyone who likes to be kept guessing. Adapted from a book, so readers can compare notes. Sits nicely alongside Interview with the Vampire or Layer Cake. Very British, in all the best ways.
The mood
Scary.
The pace
Keeps the tension tight, at 1 hr 37 min.
What might put you off
  • Made in 1970: an older pace and style.
  • Not one for anyone who hates jump scares.

London, England. Dorian Gray is a young man who somehow keeps his beauty eternally, while a mysterious portrait of himself gradually reveals his moral decay.
