I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

It's a mild crowd pleaser for people who are exhausted by blockbusters.

I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.

The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

Another film found in a throwaway collection for me, so why add in this review? Because if you're a Merchant Ivory sumptuous depictions fan, to warn, I felt this one was a letdown: In the art of film, well, nice sun washed colours throughout - except at beginning introduced at the tail end of the second world war just before Picasso meets Gilot, which is the inspiration for the film - and plus a couple of nice crane shots, one in this context, at the beginning. But even here, having begun showing Picasso as more or less darling of the occupying German invaders, no follow up so as to make relevant why this might have been so of him: it merely serves to introduce his fourth major lover, on whom regular screenwriter collaborator, R.P. Jhabvala, has adapted Ariana Huffington's source novel - and that (presumably) on her - lover, F. Gilot's - memoirs: and that is where the major disappointment arises in that for such female sources and a foremost 'feminist' (Gilot) do her own thing, this storyline didn't give much - if any - insight into the female psyche as to how she (they*) truly felt inwardly about this granted, prodigiously talented ergo charming artist, yet, presumably, egotistical selfish brat, that Picasso must have been, yet held such mesmerising, demoniacal sway over her (and them all!*)Which then brings to A. Hopkins' 'portrait of an artist': unfortunately, he gives yet another of his 'I am Anthony Hopkins' - now Sir - so I can just act and deliver my lines in precisely the same way I as I do in virtually any film I have ever made' style …. other than the balding pate and the brown contact lenses, it's him - not in in the least convincing as Picasso, the genius and irresistible lover. In a word - or two - poor - and lazy. * his four other major lovers are cast to appear in the film, but to no understandable reason as to why he exerted such sway over them. Perhaps the best female character in this quite clearly supposedly 'female perspective' film, is the de facto (Grand) Mother-in-law, (Gliot's Grandmother) played by the ever superb and reliable Joan Plowright, but who sadly was just not given enough time in the screenplay / film. Overall, disappointing effort.

Two hours long; dull and tedious, and what a shame.Picasso one of the most famous painters of all time yet this movie concentrates on him as an egotist, womanizer and bore.It is mainly about his later life and one tedious affair after another as well as the portrayal of him as totally selfish, whether true or not.This is someone whose paintings can and do sell for 50 or 100 million US dollars, and like or loath, he was a Genius.But no where in the picture does it properly: i) Show us the Secret of his Genius;or,ii) Illustrate fully or sufficiently the artistry of his genius.If one is going to make a movie about an Icon, give us someinspiration please....3/10

The movie is about Francoise Gilot, not about Picasso. It is not intended to tell Picasso's story. Picasso was brilliant, spectacular, the living center of the world of art and a sexual magnet. Women wanted him and, king that he was, Picasso viewed their adoration as no more than his due. Francoise Gilot, a talented painter in her own right - but no Picasso - lives for ten years a life which for her is absolutely worth the pain. And when the pain is so grave that she will surely be overwhelmed, she stands up and leaves. The pain doesn't go away instantly, but it does go away, in time. In one memorable scene, Gilot, at home with the baby, questions Picasso's absences, his obvious womanizing. He tells her in no uncertain terms that he will do as he chooses, that his life outside their home is none of her business. She has no right to question him. He doesn't say, "Take it or leave it," but that is the unmistakable message. She takes it, for a few more years, and another child. It would be interesting to know whether Gilot, who was born in 1921 and is apparently still with us, harbors regret. I cannot imagine that she does. Of course she would have enjoyed that ten years better if Picasso had been able to love, in some recognizable way. But would she trade that life for one less magnificent? For one that would not be a good movie? Hardly.The acting is of course perfect. Anthony Hopkins becomes the man Picasso. Natascha McElhone, Julianne Moore and Susanna Harker tell us the truth. Well paced, finely directed, this movie tells a riveting story. It is very, very good.It is perhaps worthy of note that many of the negative reviews of this movie are written by men. Picasso was not just difficult; he was a Difficult Man.

A closer look at the controversial life of world famous painter Picasso. A guy who's only intentions are women - a guy to whom marriage doesn't mean anything. The movie isn't too great at all. Actually many times it's boring. But there's a good reason to watch it: Anthony Hopkins, one of the greatest actors alive. Vote: 6 out of 10.
