Scenario

Psychoanalyst Sigmund Freud invites professor C.S. Lewis to debate the existence of God, Freud's unique relationship with his daughter, and Lewis' unconventional relationship with his best friend's mother.. Lewis in Zemlja sjena (1993) 30 years prior to this film.. Lewis is shown researching the Gospels while a woman who appears to be his wife calls him to bed. This film takes place in 1939, but Lewis did not marry Joy Davidman Gresham until 1956.

"Freud's Last Session" comes as a huge disappointment for me.

This fictionalized encounter between groundbreaking pyschoanalyst Sigmund Freud (Anthony Hopkins) and writer C

S. Lewis (Matthew Goode), on the early days of World War II with the first German bombers coming to England, doesn’t challenge viewers in asking themselves about what they’re trying to figure out while challenging themselves about the nature of man and if God exists or not (Freud is an atheist; Lewis is a Christian believer). Adapted from Matt Brown’s play, the material is poor translated to the screen which doesn’t allow a solid 15 minutes with both of those characters alone in their session without keeping coming back and forth between some background moments from each character, or either some present situations with the threats of bombing or Freud& #39;s poor health that needs constant care from his daughter, of which we have some tense revelations about her relationship with her dominating father. And they tried so hard to make it a plot twist when it comes about that character and her secretary that it was annoying – especially if you know that while Freud didn’t condemn homosexuality as a moral issue, but he didn’t t want them near him (read Paul Roazen's works on him). One sort of expects this being a psychoanalysis session rather than a weird chatting between famous authors with opposite views.

For the life of me, as it wasn’t a session in fact, I still don’t have a clue on what Lewis was doing there. The verbal duels are the moments we wait for, there are so many interesting bits and exchanges between them but as a whole it all falls flat because either the dialogue is not that brilliant; the editing makes it all look like a tennis match – there’s not a single moment for some monologue or some plan sequence; and the constant sidetrack of past moments that tries to build some character, or show some background but it’s all disengaging and tedious. A film that works with such ideals and challenges about mankind, God, faith and human relations while opposed or favorable to all that must have some coherence between action and dialogues, to create something that we in the audience might have questioned ourselves or haven’t thought about. It must create some excitement even if those issues aren’t all that thrilling (to some) and stay in the "boring" play format without distractions. If there’s a play and film adaptation that translated such sentiment in a brilliant way was "The Sunset Limited", with Samuel L.

Hopkins and Goode don’t share the same dynamic despite being good performers

Simple through actions as it stays in a small apartment room and the brilliance from the complex dialogues becomes a fascinating and mindblowing experience.
