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 Milana Vujkov Lola On Film Smooth and enjoyable as a gorgeous piece of chamber music. Rated: 4/5 Nov 29, 2024 Full Review Manuela Lazic Cineuropa Freud’s stubbornness at times feels clichéd, and the script’s meandering structure doesn’t benefit either of the two leads. Nov 22, 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.

Ethan Ashton This movie was slightly boring Rated 2 out of 5 stars 12/14/24 Full Review 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 Read all reviews
