Cinema good: Diary of a Teenage Girl; The Wolfpack.
Behind the Candelabra is the film about Liberace, I thought it would be light entertainment but it went to some quite dark places about relationships, patterns and power, and how to have a honest partnership when a) you have to lie about your sexuality and b) your life has been a performance and it's not clear what the real you is.
