- Synopsis:
In 1964, while on a short trip to Paris, the American writer and art-lover James Lord (Armie Hammer) is asked by his friend, the world-renowned artist Alberto Giacometti (Geoffrey Rush), to sit for a portrait. The process, Giacometti assures Lord, will take only a few days. Flattered and intrigued, Lord agrees. So begins not only the story of a touching and offbeat friendship, but, seen through the eyes of Lord, a uniquely revealing insight into the beauty, frustration, profundity and, at times, downright chaos of the artistic process. 'Final Portrait' is a bewitching portrait of a genius. It is a film which shines a light on the artistic process itself, by turns exhilarating, exasperating and bewildering, questioning whether the gift of a great artist is a blessing or a curse. - Actors:

Worthy - Final Portrait review by JD
Interesting, well acted, beautiful script, almost like a documentary in style.
If you like art, hate cgi and violence , you will enjoy this movie.

Like watching paint dry - literally - Final Portrait review by JR
You would think that watching a film about a man sitting for a portrait would be dull. And it is. Lots of cigarette smoking, some 60's and Paris cliches.
