This movie was a horrible representation of a beautiful artist. Unlike Mapplethorpe's art, this film lacked focus, beauty, depth and anything that resembled the complicated, talented artist. It didn't even try to get below the surface and examine him as a person or an artist. Such a waste, I think the actors had the capability to make it great, but the writing and directing didn't support them at all.
