Final Portrait: Directed by Stanley Tucci. With Geoffrey Rush, Armie Hammer, Tony Shalhoub, Sylvie Testud. The story of Swiss painter and sculptor Alberto Giacometti.

“I wanted to see this movie because I like Geoffrey Rush and Tony Shalhoub. Iu0026#39;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. Hereu0026#39;s why:u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe Good: The acting is good, which means the directing was good. Well acted and directed in my opinion.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe Bad: Thereu0026#39;s a bit more than the good, unfortunately. The scenes get a little repetitive after a while, thereu0026#39;s a dark color tone to the film that takes a little while to get used to, and I donu0026#39;t feel like you really have a reason to care about the characters. You get left in the dark, just kind of wondering whatu0026#39;s taking so long for this man to finish the portrait. Heu0026#39;s all over the place. Sometimes studying his drawing, sometimes carousing his mistress, sometimes cursing up a storm. Itu0026#39;s an odd situation, watching this film. I didnu0026#39;t dislike it, as some of the other patrons in my theater did, but I donu0026#39;t see a reason to revisit it. So… Iu0026#39;ll give it 5/10.”
