A seventy-two-hour whirlwind in the life of bohemian artist Amedeo Modigliani (Riccardo Scamarcio), known as 'Modi' to his friends, follows a chaotic series of events through the streets of war torn Paris in 1916. On the run from the police, the desire to end his career and leave the city is dismissed by fellow artists Maurice Utrillo (Bruno Gouery), Chaïm Soutine (Ryan McParland) and Modi's muse, Beatrice Hastings (Antonia Desplat). Modi seeks advice from his art dealer and friend, Leopold Zborowski (Stephen Graham) -- however, after a night of hallucinations, the chaos in Modi's mind reaches a crescendo when faced with an American collector, Maurice Gangnat (Al Pacino), who has the power to change his life.

Glenn Kenny

New York Times

The energetic and arguably strenuous performance by the lead actor, Riccardo Scamarcio, is something of a flex, to be sure.

Donald Clarke

Irish Times

The more it goes on the clearer it becomes that, though Depp no doubt admires Modigliani’s work, his real passion here is for the eternally intoxicating fantasy of Parisian bohemia.

Rated: 3/5

The Times (UK)

Every single scene here is about what the scene is about, creating the deepest vat of cinematic sh*t imaginable.

Rated: 1/5

Edward Douglas

The Weekend Warrior (Substack)

Should be particularly revelatory to anyone who regularly makes art… but isn’t earning a living by doing so.

Rated: 7.5/10

NYC Movie Guru

An engrossing, funny and provocative character study of a complex artist.

Ellen E Jones

Observer (UK)

There are flashes of originality and beauty, but only when glimpsed in Modigliani’s works. The film’s own uninspired composition suffers greatly from the comparison.
