Lovesusti The Worst Film Ever
Helllins It is both painfully honest and laugh-out-loud funny at the same time.
Sameer Callahan It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.
Kaydan Christian A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.
greenmarkut I understand that there are people that may have problems with this movie. It can be a frustrating movie to watch. But it can also be, funny, exasperating and sad. The acting is great. I don't place a judgement on the artist's behavior. He was as he was. This movie is about the artistic process, and the collaboration in that process. It can be tedious, chaotic and at times mesmerizing. It reminded me of a few of my friends who are artists. They truly do see the world in a different way, and at times you just have to go with it.
richf18 Brilliant artist deserving far better a movie than this one... Rush's "over-acting" : very annoying. Accents totally off...especially when he speaks french which sounds just like an Englishman and not an Italian speaking French absolutely HORRENDOUS! They could have found him two native speakers(FR/IT) and very easily coached him for those few lines... Also the fact that the director had him constantly cursing in English - why the hell not in Italian?! Porca miseria! Truly a poor and irritating film.
alvesmarceloalves-73751 An interesting portrait about the painter Giacometti at the end of his life, when he painted his last painting before he died. It is curious to see their crises, their insecurities and dissatisfactions in the act of creating. And Geoffrey Rush is very well in the role of the painter while creating an interesting relationship with the character of Armie Hammer.
zif ofoz A simple well written and perfectly acted story of an artist and his need to create and make that creation perfect to his liking.Set in the early 1960's the feel and charm of this film is quiet and unrushed to show a time when daily life wasn't as complex and full of the communication distractions we are saddled with today.This story isn't so much about the artist as it is about the artist nearing his final days and facing his needs.Loved it !
