Witty, briskly paced and consistently entertaining.
Jon Frosch, The Atlantic
Fresh
Buffed to a typical HBO high gloss, Candelabra is a visual feast. It shines brightest in those moments where it captures the rhythms of a relationship in its first blush of affection and its seemingly inevitable collapse.
Robert Bianco, USA Today

The stunning and quite intimate performances by Michael Douglas and Matt Damon are award-worthy.
Joanne Ostrow, Denver Post

The story is told less as a cause-and-effect narrative than as a collection of incidents that add up to something with a crushing emotional weight.
