i saw this very emotionally painful portrayal and it be fascinate . the conflict between the public and private face of williams and the pressure he be under be illuminate in a way that even those who know something about him would be surprise . the cast act superbly and but michael sheen be outstanding . i only realise it be him when i saw the early comment . he look completely physically different in this role and from any other role i have see him in or a himself . williams autobiography differs markedly from his diary and as represent in this film . the film be at time distress to watch and because of the emotional anguish displayed . however and it be a worthwhile experience and a film that can be recommend highly .
