Freud's Last Session

"Ace turns by Anthony Hopkins and Matthew Goode are undercut by subplot overload."

"Offers a welcome bit of brain stimulation — but does far less for the soul."

"Freud would say that nobody wanted anyone to see this movie."

"Milks a thought exercise until it curdles."

"Tiresome digressions mixed in with philosophical banalities add up to a pointless, inert drama."

"A film that looks as drab and gray as it sounds."

"The elements never quite cohere."

"A disjointed narrative... snaps you out of each emotional moment."

"Just when you think you know everything Hopkins can do, he digs down and comes up with something new."

"Shoots sparks that rarely catch fire."

"The chemistry... is good in places but it is not enough to lift the film into much more than a tame British historical drama."

"A verbal showdown... hampered by too much psychological baggage."
