It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.

I wanted to see this movie because I like Geoffrey Rush and Tony Shalhoub. I'd never seen a movie directed by Stanley Tucci, either, so that interested me. I took myself to see this, and expected a semi-art house flick. This was... OK, in my opinion. Here's why:The Good: The acting is good, which means the directing was good. Well acted and directed in my opinion.The Bad: There's a bit more than the good, unfortunately. The scenes get a little repetitive after a while, there's a dark color tone to the film that takes a little while to get used to, and I don't feel like you really have a reason to care about the characters. You get left in the dark, just kind of wondering what's taking so long for this man to finish the portrait. He's all over the place. Sometimes studying his drawing, sometimes carousing his mistress, sometimes cursing up a storm. It's an odd situation, watching this film. I didn't dislike it, as some of the other patrons in my theater did, but I don't see a reason to revisit it. So... I'll give it 5/10.

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.

I'm not saying that it was bad movie, but it ultimately failed to keep me watching it. After 2/3 of the movie I quit watching and it was indeed a good decision for me, as it bored me quite much. Unfortunately I wasn't familiar with the portrayed painter at all, but I not feeling that I want to know more about him.

Do you really need a model? Some modern art forms and the artists who created them were just so weird. Talents, inspiration, Muse, writer block, painter block, sculptor block....the ways or the twisted ways to look at an object, a dead unmovable thing or a lively human being....Well, you just moved. No, I didn't. Yes, you did....Oh, F@ck! I can't go on, let's do it tomorrow. Okay? Tomorrow would be better. Where should I hide the money? Under the bed? On the beam? You are taller, you do it....No, I can still see it, take it down....Adulteries is the privileged entitlement of an artist, already famous or still struggle to survive. Being abnormal is something great artists usual got, but not autism, yeah?On and on, the questionable obsession of being a model to be painted by a well known artist is just too absurd. But Geoffrey Rush is definitely one of the greatest actors ever be on the screen, a rare treasure that's for sure. "Shine 1996" and "The Best Offer 2013" are the two most memorable films to me.
But this film is not what I can swallow easily, what I saw in this film is a troubled mind and soul, very unstable, most of the time just looked like a walking dead, even a mixture of pyscohpath and sociopath, a person with split characters. Do I really want know more about this guy. NO.
