Best & Worst Films at the 2017 Berlin International Film Festival
One of international cinema's most prestigious annual events, the 67th Berlin International Film Festival (commonly known as the Berlinale) wrapped up this weekend, with Hungarian drama On Body and Soul earning the top award from a jury led by director Paul Verhoeven.
Below, we sample the reactions from film critics to that and other notable films premiering at this year's festival (including the upcoming X-Men film Logan, new features from Oren Moverman, Sally Potter, and Agnieszka Holland, and more).
Stanley Tucci’s latest film as director is based on A Giacometti Portrait, writer James Lord’s memoir of his time sitting for a portrait by artist Alberto Giacometti. Armie Hammer plays Lord, but it’s Geoffrey Rush as Giacometti who “is a joy to watch,” according to Rory O’Connor of The Film Stage. The Guardian’s Peter Bradshaw claims Tucci “has created a very amusing, astringent chamber piece of a movie.” It looks to be his best since Big Night.
