Final Portrait's reviews
Media reviews
Variety
"Rush and Tucci create a captivating portrait of an artist who?s at once elated, haunted, and utterly possessed."
Indiewire
"Watching 'Final Portrait' you get the feeling as if a Robert Doisneau photo had opened itself up you, and for an hour and half, invited you inside."
The Guardian
"It?s a highly entertaining portrait of the two men, and Tucci?s own directorial brush strokes are bold and invigorating."
The Telegraph
"Rush hurls himself into the film?s star turn with a cantankerous abandon that more than compensates for his slightly unsteady accent. It?s a wildly entertaining performance that feels vividly inhabited both physically and vocally."
Empire
"Sensibly dramatising a few representative days rather than Giacometti?s whole life, this may seem slight, but there?s a lot to dig into here ? and [Geoffrey] Rush hasn?t had a showcase this good in years."
The Hollywood Reporter
"Amusing but slight, the small-scale film is elevated by a spirited characterization from Geoffrey Rush as mercurial artist ? is there any other kind in movies? ? Alberto Giacometti."
Fotogramas
"Stanley Tucci [...], before showing a clear interest about secrets and chiaroscuros of artistic creation, what he ends up doing is showing his own limitations as a photographer."
El Mundo
"A film stopped in its own perplexity unable to deepen further than the skin of the obvious. It is all so correct that it ends up very close to despair."
