The Guardian's art critic Adrian Searle gave his opinion of the film shortly after its release: he was impressed by the accuracy of Jacobi's performance, if not by the insertion of YBAs into the pub scenes …
The painter Francis Bacon, who turned down both the Order of Merit and the Companion of Honour, is crouched over the bed in nothing but his underpants. He waits. His lover, a Kray gang hanger-on called George Dyer, stands over him, a cigarette in his mouth, a belt twisted in his fist.
This is a scene from John Maybury's Love Is the Devil, subtitled "Study for a portrait of Francis Bacon" starring Derek Jacobi as the painter, and Daniel Craig as Dyer, Bacon's lover, tormentor, victim and model. In the film, Dyer, a hapless East End burglar, introduces himself by crashing through the skylight of Bacon's tiny South Kensington studio, while attempting a burglary.
