Rather like the sittings, the film just goes on and on and on.October 31, 2017
This modest, extremely charming labor of love from writer/director Stanley Tucci is not intended for anyone who can't wait for the next Transformers. But if you're interested in Paris, art, the 1960s or any combination, it may be right up your alley.January 10, 2018
A bleakly funny, genteelly twisted gloss on the clichés of temperamental creative genius, via the relationship between an artist and his subject, one that questions the sometimes high personal price of great art.October 04, 2017
Giacometti's endless delaying tactics and his prosaic nature means Final Portrait weirdly feels both once over lightly and somewhat slow all at once.October 05, 2017
Tucci presents an engaging overview of the artist, undoubtedly one that will inspire viewers to continue their own exploration of a fascinating character.October 05, 2017
A low-key drama of consistently high quality...February 12, 2017
Makes for a narrative with little consistent forward momentum and an anticlimactic ending, though the film remains agreeable thanks largely to Rush's flavorful performance.October 05, 2017
Avoids the usual biopic pitfalls, yet succumbs to the half-baked slightness that can plague talky, miniaturist chamber pieces.February 12, 2017
In "Final Portrait," Stanley Tucci, directing his first film in 10 years, takes the biopic to an even more exquisitely homespun level of miniature close-up.December 29, 2017
It is not an innovative proposal, but not too trite... [Full review in Spanish]February 17, 2017
As a bit of art-house escapism, that it is a trip well worth taking.October 11, 2017
Actor-turned-director Stanley Tucci's fifth movie is like an engagingly acted episode stretched into a feature.
