Weird 2nd half of the week that isn't improving much on some areas, two consecutive downers of movies (ugh) and among them Freud's Last Session was a disappointment that only'll serve for drinking games where you'll take a shot each time Sir Tony Hopkins say "Ja" in the movie.

#random #Freud's Last Session #though I posted some quotes before actually seeing (now it's not an endorsement like 95% of the films I post here) but they were relevant #one more thumbs down and I quit

Matthew Goode being studious and roaming libraries

(Incidently both are supposed to be the Bodleian in Oxford).

Many similarities and also vastly different characters and vibes (testament to Matthew's incredible acting that he so disappears into his character).

Certainly Professor Lewis is far more serious than Professor Clairmont and not trying to cause mischief with a certain witch 😆

📷 My edits from Freud's Last Session (2023) official trailer and film* (West End Films/Sony Pictures Classics)

* In the trailer, we have a front view of Lewis walking through the library but a backview in the film. Whose idea was that 😭

Also, deleted scene (from script): "51 EXT. OXFORD. Lewis walks through Oxford to the doors of Bodleian Library."

Missed opportunity to have yet another shot of Matthew in front of the Bodley

A Goode year ... 2023

Time for my usual review of Matthew Goode's year. Every year I sit down to write these thinking - hmm - we didn’t see enough of Matthew Goode this year. [NEVER enough] But then each year I’m surprised by how busy he is. But this year we had several months of Goodey being MIA. How did we cope?

January -

You can tell I'm searching for 'news' when the biggest thing that happened in January was the release of a 13 year old interview with Matthew on the Ellen Show! Well it got us excited coz most of the old YouTubes of it had disappeared.

[📷 screenshot by @matthewgiggles - she did 1061 of these babies 👏] Oh and Matthew was robbed in the Critics Choice Awards for his performance in 'The Offer' . ROBBED!!! Oh well - at least he was nominated.

February -

Not a Goode month - I seriously couldn't find any Goode news in the archive.

March -

In March we got excited about Matthew playing either A RABBIT or a hedgehog (coz we will take ANYTHING during this drought) in a new animation 'Tally Ho' also known as 'Spiked'.

📷 @goodecollective Hoping Matthew plays Walter the rabbit coz that's a bigger part - but I guess he could be the older brother.

April -

We got our first look at Matthew filming 'Freud's Last Session' -

[📷 Mark Doyle/Splash News]

... and the first 'official' promo pics from Sony Pictures Classics -

... And, bizarrely, the Whitehead Railway Museum (a location for FLS) spilled the beans that we'd see this in December.

May -

We were starved of Goode news -

June -

I mean WTF happened in June?

By July -

We were starting to worry....

August -

Luckily some more FLS casting news started trickling out and we were READY.

Oh and some of Matthew's costumes for ADOW were up for auction - so hopefully some lucky fans are sniffing those as I write this -

In September -

We started getting little bit of buzz about Matthew being a contender for Best Supporting Actor Oscars. 😯

And then towards the end of the month - this happened -

youtube

Matthew and ex F1 World champ Jenson Button doing lots of outdoorsy stuff to promote Hackett London's Autumn Winter collection -

Hallelujah - proof of life at last!

As well as the vid we were treated to loads of gorgeous promo pics by Charlie Gray. 😍

October -

Started off about the devil game golf. Matthew played at the Dunhill Links golf tournament -

📷 Dunhill Links and 'Gaz the Caddie'

So great that @asgoodeasgold was there so we got some gorgeous pics. Check them out here -https://www.tumblr.com/asgoodeasgold/730860856364122112/im-so-glad-you-enjoyed-goodeywatch-thank-you?source=share

Then, at last, we got a sneaky look at 'Freud's Last Session' -

youtube

... and guess what? Matthew was SO goode.

The movie premiered at AFI Fest but sadly, due to the strike, we missed out on seeing Matthew there. The review started appearing and guess what - our guy did good. More than holding his own working with Sir Anthony Hopkins so who could ask for more?

November

The superlatives about Matthew's performance as C.S. Lewis kept on coming. AND Matthew was spotted in Seville with his mate Jenson again for yet another Hackett campaign...

📷 all from @RenegadeJFG Twitter.

December

OMG there has been so much Goode action I don't know where to start. Matthew packed with so many interviews, zooms and articles to promote 'Freud's Last Session'. Exhausting for Matthew and a bit overwhelming for fans - but I'm not complaining. Here's just few appearances -

Matthew's interviews gave us some fascinating insights to the type of human he really is and what he believes - as well as the usual fun, laughter and the constant 'non-verbal leakage' that he is SO aware of.

AND a few hints that he is in talks to reprise BOB!

We got the official trailer in December and 'Freud's Last Session' had a limited release in the US (L.A. and New York).

youtube

Matthew has continued to receive great reviews for his work in FLS and let's hope that directors and award voters sit up and take notice!

So what will the next year bring? Well - it's looking goode.

Freud’s Last Session Review – Brilliant Performances Drive Complex Story

WOW! Freud's Last Session "is a masterclass in artistic expression…" Matthew GoodE "matches [Anthony] Hopkins in quality, verbally spar with the skill of expert swordsmen communicating with rapier wit, biting sarcasm, and even in the silence delivering a powerful, complex, layered story."

Review by Janet Walker (Haute Lifestyle October 31, 2023) Photo: Sony Pictures Classics

Freud's Last Session, from Sony Pictures Classics, presents a masterclass in performance through the fictitious meeting of psychoanalyst Sigmund Freud and theologian C.S. Lewis as the elder atheist, nearing death, debates the plausibility of religion.

**SPOILERS ALERT**

The film, which screened at AFI Fest 2023, begins in the home of C.S. Lewis, played by Matthew GoodE, as the radio is playing announcing the beginning of World War II where he speaks kindly to a woman, which is assumed to be his wife/companion [Janie Moore played by Orla Brady], "We've made it through one war, we'll make it through another." He arrives in London, where parents in desperation are sending their children to the countryside to keep them away from the possibility of death, sad goodbyes and promises of home soon are heard.

Immediately the scene cuts to a home in London, where Anna Freud, played by Liv Lisa Fries, is chiding her father, Sigmund, played by Sir Anthony Hopkins, to be kind to his guest. As she leaves the house, she and Lewis pass on the sidewalk, and she pleasantly prepares him as he is about to walk into the analytical fire. Once the door opens and Freud and Lewis are in the same room, each attempt, while intermittingly listening for bombs and switching on the news to determine if seeking shelter is imperative. As an observer to the theorists each present and defend their respective religious beliefs, each wandering further into the other's reasoning to by chance glimpse the possibility of entertaining a half-notion that the other could possibly be correct in their belief. As it is, Lewis, who lived through World War I is plagued by PTSD and when they are summoned to take shelter in the basement of a church, he relives the harshest of those memories. Comforted by Freud, we see the ability to have vastly different beliefs and opinions and still meet in a common ground of humanity. This storyline segues as Freud seizes the opportunity to step into the mind's door that opened and walk Lewis through his war trauma. A layer of Lewis' character is pulled away as we understand he made a death pact with his best friend that if anything should happen to either of them each would care for their mother's. It is here we learn that the woman, introduced in the beginning scenes, Janie Moore, played by Orla Brady, was in fact the mother of his dearest wartime friend who died on the battlefield. Freud, of course, who believed all psychosis that every person experiences is due to childhood. To debate here seems irrelevant, as it is presented in the film, he is dying and his daughter Anna, who is an accomplished child psychologist in her own right, is tethered to her father, to the point of her own determinant leaves her lecture because her father is in need. The possibility of the day and time, the period in which Freud lived made these assumptions logical are clearly played out as we understand Freud is dying of oral cancer, almost ironic one could say for someone who exercised his opinions to lose the ability to converse possibly, especially in the context of the film and conversation, had some otherworldly connotation.

Lewis we also understand is a caretaker, possibly to avoid real connection, he bears the burden of his dying friend and therefore will not leave Freud in his time of need. Freud's Last Session is a masterclass in artistic expression. Sir Anthony Hopkins is in top form and Matthew Goode, who matches Hopkins in quality, verbally spar with the skill of expert swordsmen communicating with rapier wit, biting sarcasm, and even in the silence delivering a powerful, complex, layered story. Freud's Last Session opens December 22, 2023. See it.

No story here. No arcs, tension, or catharsis. Just an exploration of themes and quotes. Remember, this is not based on true events. It is completely fictional.

Freud's Last Session is a 2023 drama film starring Anthony Hopkins, Matthew Goode, Liv Lisa Fries, Jodi Balfour, Jeremy Northam, and Orla Brady. It is based on the stage play of the same name by Mark St. Germain, which itself is based upon the book The Question of God, by Armand Nicholi. The film was directed by Matthew Brown and written by St. Germain.

COMPLEX CHARACTERS

Opening today:

Freud's Last Session--The "session" in question is fictional, or at best nervily speculative--a meeting of the titular psychoanalytic pioneer with the Christian apologist C. S. Lewis. It's September of 1939; England has just declared war on Hitler's Germany, and Freud, who has fled Austria for England with his obsessively devoted daughter Anna, is in the agonizing homestretch of terminal mouth cancer. Irked by Lewis' parody of him in The Pilgrim's Regress (1933), Freud has invited the young Oxford don to his house in London for a civil but contentious chat.

Freud is played by Anthony Hopkins; Lewis is played by Matthew Goode. The direction is by Matthew Brown from a script he co-wrote with the American playwright Mark St. Germain, based on St. Germain's play (which I saw well-produced by Arizona Theatre Company in 2013). The play is a two-hander, but this handsomely-produced movie expands on it with scenes involving Anna (Liv Lisa Fries) and her partner Dorothy Burlingham (Jodi Balfour), flashbacks to Freud's childhood traumas and to Lewis' PTSD from the trenches in the earlier war, his eyebrow-raising cohabitation with Janie Moore (Orla Brady), etc.

But the juice in the film is still in the theatrical sparring between the two leads, especially Hopkins as the chuckling, cheerfully furious Freud. He's as lovably cantankerous here as he was as Pope Benedict in 2019's The Two Popes. For his part, Goode is smart enough not to make Lewis saintly or jolly; he gives him an edge of defensive aloofness alongside a deep decency.

It's hard to say which, if either, of the two men's viewpoints St. Germain and Brown are most in symapthy with. Many of us are likely to feel ourselves somewhere between Freud's staunch and bitter rationalism and Lewis' somehow rather half-hearted pose of orthodoxy. But the point of the film seems to be that what underlies both is, at least partly, existential terror, of a sort to which intelligent, intensely imaginative people like these two are particularly subject. Neither strict nonbelief nor strict belief seems to offer much deliverance.

Mean Girls--"It's a cautionary tale..." So the Greek chorus characters Janis and Damian sing to us at the beginning of this musical remake of the well-loved 2004 teen comedy, pared down from the 2018 Broadway version. This may be the secret of Mean Girls, in each iteration: it really is a moral tale with a cautionary point, and the heroine really does go to the dark side.

As you'll recall, Cady Heron (Angourie Rice) is a smart kid who grew up in campsites in Africa; her mother (Jenna Fischer) is a researcher. When she lands at a suburban American high school for junior year, the divisions in cafeteria clique and caste strike her as similar to those in the animal kingdom. She gets sucked into spending lunches with "The Plastics," a circle of glamorous sycophants led by uber-mean girl Regina George (Renée Rapp). Cady agrees, initially, at the urging of artsy girl Janis (Auli'i Cravalho) and big gay Damian (Jaquel Spivey) to serve as a double agent in a revenge plot against Regina. But gradually, of course, the plastic begins to take over for real.

Or maybe the secret is just that the film, scripted, like the original, by Tina Fey (freely adapting a book by Rosalind Wiseman), is funny and sweet, but not so sweet that it forgets to be, you know, mean. Or maybe it's that most of the songs, by Nell Benjamin and Jeff Richmond, are delightful, and buoyantly staged by directors Samantha Jayne and Arturo Perez, Jr.

Overall, these actors don't have the vibrancy or distinctive personalities of the original film's cast, but they make up for this with terrific musical performing. Rapp brings such a baleful moan to "Meet the Plastics" that she really is a little scary, and Rice shades herself from guileless to conniving very believably. A few vets are around; Fey and Tim Meadows reprise their roles from the first film, and Busy Phillips and Jon Hamm contribute funny bits. The standouts, however, are Cravalho as Janis and Spivey as Damian, both equipped with gorgeous voices and the ability to act while they're belting.

Fey's generous-hearted--and sensible--take on popularity and self-esteem has provided a solid and unsentimental piece of role modeling for teens (and the teens that endure within most adults) for twenty years now. Maybe this movie will extend it for another twenty.

Do you have a favorite memory from the film?

The onset photographer captured one and I have it now. It’s me and Tony outside the church on the day we were shooting that scene of us walking across the graveyard. In this photo, we are both howling with laughter and have a hand on each other’s shoulder. I can’t remember what we were laughing about because we laughed quite a lot. But I really got him with something because he’s doubled over. I’ll always have that as a memory. I can stick [that photo] on my wall and go, ‘Hey, I worked with him. I worked with one of the greats! And look, he thought I was funny!’

Wonderful interview with Matthew!!!!
