      Audience Member a weird kinda bio-pic of sorts Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member Bud Cort (el protagonista de "Harold And Maude") interpreta a Sigmund Freud en esta disparatada comedia llena de momentos inmortales, como ver a Klaus Kinski siendo amamantado por la mama de Freud. Tan solo esa escena se presta para innumerables discusiones. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/25/23 Full Review Audience Member Bud Cort (el protagonista de "Harold And Maude") interpreta a Sigmund Freud en esta disparatada comedia llena de momentos inmortales, como ver a Klaus Kinski siendo amamantado por la mama de Freud. Tan solo esa escena se presta para innumerables discusiones. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/24/23 Full Review Audience Member Dreadful attempt at a comedy version of the life of Freud. It seems to have been made by aliens who know nothing about human comedy. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/12/23 Full Review Audience Member Not only is it an amusing parody of biopics in general, but it may be one of the most sophisticated satirical criticisms of Frued ever assembled.
