Review of Final Portrait (2017) by Frank B — 04 Aug 2018
Geoffrey Rush, Armie Hammer, and Clemence Poesy are wasted in this boring film. The film runs 90 minutes. It feels like 90 hours. A Swiss painter living in Paris is painting a portrait of a journalist.
The painter paints, smokes, swears, and starts over; paints smokes, seas, and starts over, paints, smokes, swears, and starts over. Nothing of any interest occurs. Easily one of the most boring films I ever have sat through.
How I wish I had followed the urge to bail on this after about the first ten minutes. I stupidly kept thinking something of interest was going to happen. This is based on real life painter and sculpture Alberto Giacometti whose "art" is as bad as this film.
