You do have a point. Then again, people and their lives are immensely complicated, and trying to boil them down to movie length usually means putting most of it in the background and just focusing on one main aspect--in this case, Wilde magnificently screwing up his personal life. This was alright by me as it's something that you don't get from reading Wilde's own works, which makes it worth watching instead of just reading The Picture of Dorian Gray again.

But it was still not half as skillfully done as Ed Wood, which is the best biopic ever.
