Audience Member A tad heavy on friends-who-show-their-artistic-passion-and-love-to-each-other-by-constantly-yelling, but otherwise enjoyable! Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/05/23 Full Review Audience Member Aside from some interesting shots of the beautiful Provencal landscape, whose colors were, too, exaggerated to look like a painting, the movie offers very little. What's most evident is the research that went into the writing. Still raw and unpolished, the writing doesn't create a coherent story that combines both the story of Cezanne and Zola's bromance, and their art. Several aspects of the movie didn't even ring true. Cezanne is largely portrayed as a loser, hostile and moody, cut off from the Parisian art world. No mention of him being largely admired by his peers (in 1900, Maurice Denis even paints "Homage to Cezanne" with some of the most famous painters of the time, surrounding one of Cezanne's paintings). Even though in real life he rarely drew nudes from life and more from imagination, in the movie we see him drawing nudes from life most of the time. The movie is pretentious for all the wrong reasons, and offers the bare minimum. Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/30/23 Full Review Audience Member Colorful, with a boring directing.
