Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaAnthony Hopkins had previously portrayed C.S. Lewis in Shadowlands (1993) 30 years prior to this film.
- GoofsSigmund Freud recalls to Anna Freud their previous meeting with Albert Einstein where Einstein says that the definition of insanity is doing the same thing and expecting different results. Though this is a quotation often attributed to Albert Einstein, it more likely originates from Al-Anon and Narcotics Anonymous groups in the early 1980s.

J.R.R. Tolkien: Jack, when you read myths about gods that come to Earth and sacrifice themselves, their stories move you, so long as you read it anywhere but the Bible.

Featured review
Film about Freud with the depth of a canoe
Now, I was pleasantly surprised last week by the film 'La fille de nulle part' by French director Jean-Claude Brisseau. I was particularly struck by the depth of the dialogues and realized that I am not used to that at all anymore: a director who assumes that his audience has read a book before. It seems like films increasingly take the dumbest of the bunch as a starting point; everything has to be spoon-fed and explained.
Freud's Last Session could have been a fantastic opportunity to create a film that intellectually grabs you and keeps you intellectually engaged. Why is there not a deeper exploration of the father-daughter relationship? Why is there no real dialogue between Freud and the professor? Why is there no character development? Why don't we get real insight into the psychology of the three main characters? It's about Freud, for goodness' sake! He is the founder of psychoanalysis! The levity of the production completely hinders the subject. It's like making a cowboy film without cowboys.
A missed opportunity.
