Entertainment Reviews:
Redgrave breathes air into every room she enters.
Entertainment Weekly
"Prick Up Your Ears" may shock less than viewers might expect given the gruesome facts of the story, but the film's extraordinary writing, directing, and acting still hold up 30 years later.

4 stars out of 5 -- [T]he 29-year-old Oldman could hardly have been better cast as the cocksure genius whose saucy farces turned the West End stage on its ear.
Total Film
Bennett and Frears, between them, have coaxed from Gary Oldman a performance which stunningly walks that tightrope between our fascination and our mistrust.

Rating: 4/5 --
A brilliant and painfully raw portrait of a troubled, a tragic relationship.

...Gary Oldman [gives] a performance which stunningly walks that tightrope between our fascination and our mistrust...
Sight and Sound
Rating: 4/5 --
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.

Product Description:
PRICK UP YOUR EARS is the tragic, true story of flamboyant British playwright Joe Orton, from his days as a drama student, through his meteoric rise to fame in British theatre, to his violent death at the hands of his envious lover Kenneth Halliwell. Gary Oldman portrays the rebellious Orton, who rose to success in the 1960s with his plays, LOOT and WHAT THE BUTLER SAW. Orton charmed theatrical society while living illegally as a homosexual, dangerously taking lovers and street hustlers, and living with his long-term collaborator Kenneth Halliwell (Alfred Molina) whose rage and envy prompted him to violently murder Orton in 1967.
