What to Know

Critics Consensus

Anthony Hopkins and Matthew Goode are a tremendously talented pair, but Freud's Last Session is too scattered and thinly written to take full advantage of their efforts.

Mark Kermode Kermode and Mayo's Take (YouTube) Here, the only overdose that's been taken, it's an overdose of acting pills. Jun 21, 2024 Full Review Helen O'Hara Empire Magazine It’s not the fault of either star, but the half-baked script makes this an unsatisfyingly thin exploration of the weighty themes it seeks to cover. Rated: 2/5 Jun 14, 2024 Full Review Linda Marric The Sun (UK) Hopkins and Goode give two understated yet im- pressively precise performances. Rated: 4/5 Jun 14, 2024 Full Review Emiliano Basile EscribiendoCine What could have been an exquisite talk about existentialism ends up being a graphic description of these historical figures' past, focusing more on their life experiences than on the legacies left for posterity. [Full review in Spanish] Rated: 5/10 Aug 6, 2024 Full Review Jack Martin Film Feeder In short, you’re watching two stuffy gentlemen bicker endlessly with each other for 100 minutes while saying or doing nothing that ultimately changes them by the end, which is not exactly prime big-screen entertainment as it may well be for the stage. Rated: 2/5 Aug 5, 2024 Full Review Abe Friedtanzer Cinema Daily US Like much of Freud’s legacy, this film presents food for thought that isn’t always as fascinating or easy to digest as its idea’s originators anticipate. Rated: B Jul 23, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews

DianeW This is a slow moving movie that is deep. Not what you would expect a movie to be. Save your money and wait for it to streaming at home. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/04/24 Full Review David krisy Wonderful movie must see Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/29/24 Full Review Sue Made me want to learn more about their childhoods and biographies and learn more about Anna Freud. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/28/24 Full Review Jeffrey J Excellent script. Hopkins brilliant as usual. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/28/24 Full Review Aron B Thoroughly enjoyable film. The acting is wonderful. The story is great. The production is first rate. The film really takes you back to the past where you can see these two great thinkers interacting in a genuine way about what might be the most important question of all: does God exist? Don't get me wrong: I like a good action movie or comedy as much as anyone else, but I do wish there were more movies like this one. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/26/24 Full Review Ezetta Extraordinary acting beautiful sets amd settings. Authentic storyline amd personality portrayal of my vision of Sigmund Freud. I studied his sciences at Dickinson College during my studies for a minor in Psychology at Dickinson College in Carlisle, PA. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/25/24 Full Review Read all reviews
