World-renowned painter Pablo Picasso (Anthony Hopkins) is notorious for his infidelity, but his French lover, Françoise Gilot (Natascha McElhone), manages to weather her stormy relationship with him better than many other women. While serving as Picasso's muse and the mother of two of his children, Gilot -- an artist in her own right -- has to contend with his relationships with other women, including his wife, dancer Olga Khokhlova (Jane Lapotaire), and photographer Dora Maar (Julianne Moore).

...a stunning debut by Natascha McElhone... Go to Full Review
Roger Ebert Chicago Sun-Times Jan 1, 2000
2.5/4

Sheila Reid Women in the Life May 16, 2022
Hopkins’ portrayal of [Picasso] is no less than brilliant. Go to Full Review
John Richardson The New York Review of Books Aug 16, 2018
