Gary Oldman is just brilliant as playwright Joe Orton, and Alfred Molina gives a painfully beautiful performance.

Tres bien! J'ai bien aime! Excellentes performances de Oldman et Molina!

I was in my very early teens when I first attempted watching this movie, and I clearly remember stopping it at 6 minutes. The second time around, and much maturing later, I found it absolutely terrific. Frears is a director who is capable of pulling unbelievably fantastic performances from every one of his actors - no matter if they are leading or secondary ones. Alfred Molina probably in one of the best roles of his career here. As for the ever-glorious Gary Oldman - I really cannot think of an actor who would have been a better Joe Orton in his shoes. Partly reminiscent of Fassbinder, a tragic biopic of an even more tragic figure in what is one of the best movies of the late 1980's.

This 1987 adaptation of John Lahr's biography of rebel playwright Joe Orton still 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.

Superb dialogue. This as a film about a gay couple and the 'ears' in the title is an anagram of arse. Just brilliant.
