Johnny Depp's latest directorial effort focuses on Amedeo Modigliani, showcasing 72 hours in the artist’s tumultuous life. The film has received harsh criticism, with reviews highlighting a lack of narrative progression. Critics described the script as terrible, stilted, and unnecessarily explanatory, while one noted the awkwardness of poetic lines. Despite negative assessments, some find redeeming qualities, citing a satisfying last scene. Star appearances by Al Pacino and Stephen Graham do not alleviate overall unfavorable impressions, yet the film might still attract viewers intrigued by its notoriety.
In this film, there is no narrative progress. Every single scene here is about what the scene is about, creating the deepest vat of cinematic shit imaginable.
The script is truly atrocious-stilted, endlessly explicatory, and it should be illegal to have someone in Paris recite a few lines of poetry in the bath.
The movie includes starry cameos from Al Pacino and Stephen Graham, but reviewers note that it is a very uneven work.
The last scene of all is very satisfying, being admirably judged and perfectly timed, despite the overall negative opinions.
