  1. Freed from the slavishness of most authorized biography, the film makers try bold strokes.
  2. Surviving Picasso is an intelligent, beautifully crafted and engrossing Ismail Merchant-James Ivory biographical portrait of the century's most famous and successful painter. [4 Oct 1996]
  3. A big, silly movie about the famed goatish painter that stars the nearly perfect Anthony Hopkins.
  4. Surviving Picasso is flat-out dull, hanging like a K Mart print in a suburban mall - a testament to Merchant-Ivory's blew-it period. [20 Sep 1996]
