Iamwhoi M @Shaboutiques Nov 24, 2025 Did it have me glued to the edge of my seat? No, of course not; but it's not that kind of movie. It's a character study in a time & a place that seem so far away now. Kudos to Geoffrey & Armie on their work; and Tony Shaloub was also great in his role.

See more isla s @RT89656869 Sep 3, 2022 This is quite a philosophical watch. Its a slow paced film and may bore some people but I liked it in terms of the characters, with the eccentric Alberto Giacometti and his curious final subject, the art lover James Lord. Its a bit of a thoughtful watch, with some good dialogue and I found it intriguing seeing how the two main characters got on and regarded each other as the days went by, while he worked on his painting. Its partially subtitled, being set in France, so thats worth knowing in case subtitles are a bit put off to you but it didn't especially bother me. The majority of the dialogue is in English, with the two main characters obviously talking in English, so subtitles are only present some of the time. There is definitely a cat and mouse aspect to the painter and the, I suppose, paintee. There is an element of fragility and of stubbornness present too but I won't say anymore so as not to risk giving any spoilers. I quite liked the musical score, with numerous classical pieces played, that helped to heighten the viewers sense of the characters state of mind at the time. I'd recommend this film if your ok with slow paced, partially subtitled films. See more Dec 25, 2018 Story, a total waste of your time. Acting, great. That's why there is a star. A bit cruel as Armie and Geoffrey were both great actors. But it needed a better story. See more Dec 16, 2018 Slow burn study on the artistic and creative process, with precise and enjoyable performances. See more Aug 12, 2018 Overall, I found this film positive. The biggest highlights are watching an outstanding portrayal of Alberto from Geoffrey Rush and witnessing a dramatic story of unexpected friendship. The directional choices for some of the filming and editing ended up becoming a bigger distraction to certain key moments to the story. - Finesse Movie Reviews See more Read all reviews
