Final Portrait Reviews
In its ordinariness, in its bemused honesty about the very real business of having the nerve to plunk one's self down and think anybody cares enough to eventually look and then making something from start to finish, it's better than what we're used to

Given the talent involved in Final Portrait, it's a real shame it's not better, or at least has a point.
| Original Score: C | Aug 21, 2021
Final Portrait leaves the viewer with the feeling that he or she might as well have caught it on 온라인카지노추천. And for a movie about a great painter and sculptor, this is not a recommendation.

Final Portrait is enlightening, amusing, thrilling and sometimes touching, with Rush and Hammer forming the perfect artistic odd couple.

Geoffrey Rush so excels at playing real-life figures... that one welcomes the very idea of him as sculptor and painter Alberto Giacometti.

The public is able to discover the chaotic, complicated, strange and fascinating lifestyle of the artist. [Full Review in Spanish]
| Original Score: 3/5 | Jul 11, 2019
Final Portrait is a slow burn and slow study, slightly inaccessible to those uninitiated with Giacometti at first, but rewarding if stuck with as the characters take hold.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Feb 28, 2019
Writer-director Stanley Tucci clearly had a vision and the skills necessary to tell this story, along with actors who are completely captivating as they give their all. But without something to say, the result is about as interesting as a blank canvas.
| Original Score: C- | Feb 4, 2019
Tucci's ideas, together with Rush's acting abilities, were enough to minimally shape the artist, but this biographical drama has no place among the best I've seen lately.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Feb 1, 2019
Under the watchful eye of director Stanley Tucci, Final Portrait is filled with an undercurrent of humor throughout -- crisply paced, allowing its two lead actors the chance to really sink into their respective roles.
| Original Score: B | Oct 25, 2018
The actors are wonderful.

Stop me if you've heard this one before (no, seriously. stop me). A depraved creative genius is on a quest to find artistic value in living, treating everyone around 'him' like sh*t in the process.
| Original Score: 2/4 | Aug 27, 2018
The film is a complicated one, but the script is relatively sparse and meandering. As such, the pacing feels very slow.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Aug 22, 2018
Subverts the tortured artist narrative just enough to remain urgent, mostly because the two leads continuously challenge each other.
| Aug 20, 2018
A portrait of the poignant and strange mysteries of the creative process.
| Original Score: 4/5 | Aug 16, 2018
There is no doubt that Geoffrey Rush, winner of an Oscar for embodying another genius... is the perfect actor to give life to Giacometti. [Full review in Spanish]
| Original Score: 3/5 | Aug 9, 2018
Tucci steps up to the task and challenge fastidiously and with obvious fascination for its chosen topic.
| Original Score: 68/100 | Jul 23, 2018
Final Portrait is quiet, patient, thoughtful and at times really funny, with a meditative quality that the engaging actors slip into effortlessly.
| Jun 22, 2018
An intimate, actor-friendly film focused on the creative process, with a story ultimately resolved by performance and deception.
| Original Score: 3/5 | May 17, 2018
Rush gives one of his best-ever performances, which is saying a lot.
| Original Score: 3/5 | May 4, 2018
