Summary
RATING: R for some language and drug use
Starring Andy Garcia, Elsa Zylberstein, Hippolyte Girardot, Omid Djalili, Eva Herzigova, and Udo Kier
This film portrays the untold story of the bitter rivalry between Modigliani and Picasso. Two men whose envy of each other is fuelled by their brilliance, their arrogance, their passions. (Bauer Martinez Studios)

The Hollywood Reporter Kirk Honeycutt
Garcia has his moments as a wild man but the script never really allows him to plumb the artist's emotional depths.
Read Full Review >Entertainment Weekly Scott Brown
The lushness of a Modigliani is largely absent from Modigliani.
Read Full Review >TV Guide Ken Fox
The real-life Modigliani did indeed live a short, tragic life, but this factually inaccurate, plodding film makes it feel twice as long.
Read Full Review >LA Weekly Kim Morgan
A tiresome, hammy and ultimately annoying portrait of the artist as a young drunk.
Read Full Review >New York Post Kyle Smith
An Iranian comedian named Omad Djalili plays Picasso, that sexually combustible Spanish bull, with all the earth-shaking allure of, say, Andy Richter.
Read Full Review >Village Voice R. Emmet Sweeney
Sadly, instead of situating the l'amour fou in the artistic ferment of the period (1917-1920), Davis twists the period to fit the story.
Read Full Review >The New York Times Stephen Holden
The best and maybe the only use to be made of the catastrophic screen biography Modigliani is to serve as a textbook outline of how not to film the life of a legendary artist.

Frenchie Y. gave it a1:
Simply an insult to all poets, painters and lovers, a dull, overacted abortion!
Earl M. gave it a2:
Tiresome, poor representation of the artist's life--do not waste your time!
Lanique gave it a10:
Anything incredible gotta have a little repulse, otherwise it'll turn boring. For this particular case the movie stands alone, here a repulse would be the critics' reviews.
Nicola M. gave it a2:
Simply an atrocious movie, painful to watch. Woefully overacted, with more hams than a butcher shop. Picasso was played by Bud Abbot. Really a bad bad bad movie.
Stephanee H. gave it a9:
I feel the critics were very wronge! I felt it was a wonderful movie and great preformances that left me wanting for more.
Odessa F. gave it a10:
Great movie!!! Excellent performances by Andy Garcia and rest of the cast. This movie really captures the spirits of Paris around that time. A beautiful and tragic love story too! Don't miss it. It is now out on DVD.
Cristina O gave it a10:
Excellent movie! Deep penetreting into the artist's life and following, apparently, the real facts. I do not understand why the critics have been so bad. He had a miserable life and ONLY from this point of view the film looks miserable.
