Critics Consensus

Anthony Hopkins and Matthew Goode are a tremendously talented pair, but Freud's Last Session is too scattered and thinly written to take full advantage of their efforts.

This is a slow moving movie that is deep. Not what you would expect a movie to be. Save your money and wait for it to streaming at home.

Thoroughly enjoyable film. The acting is wonderful. The story is great. The production is first rate. The film really takes you back to the past where you can see these two great thinkers interacting in a genuine way about what might be the most important question of all: does God exist? Don't get me wrong: I like a good action movie or comedy as much as anyone else, but I do wish there were more movies like this one.

The Nightly (AU)

It manages to make loaded, interesting subjects such as sex an inducement to a nap.

Sydney Morning Herald

Anthony Hopkins is at his sarcastic best in Freud’s Last Session. His barbs are delivered in a mild tone and there’s an amused look in his eye, but these sweeteners do nothing to blunt his disdain.

Rated: 3.5/5

It does have Goode, which helps, and of course Hopkins, who makes the film worth the price of admission, if just barely.

Rated: 3/5

Despite strong performances especially from Hopkins, typically irascible with a hint of mischief, it doesn't deliver on the enticing 'what if' scenario it has set itself

A well-acted conversation, and for the most part that works.

Limelight

Anthony Hopkins continues his strong, late-career run of films (which includes the recent One Life, Netflix’s The Two Popes and his Oscar-winning turn in The Father) in this sedate but engrossing adaptation of Mark St Germain’s stage play.
