Lowest is Metacritic critics on 65, highest is AlloCiné on 80.
See the most agreed on films →A young man of extraordinary beauty wishes that a portrait of himself would age instead of him. His wish is granted, allowing him to pursue a life of hedonism and vice without any outward physical sign of his corruption. While he remains youthful, the painting hidden in his attic grotesquely transforms, recording every sin and moral decay on its canvas.
