Why Anthony Hopkins’s Whole Career Led Him to Freud’s Last Session | by David Canfield, Vanity Fair

October 26th, 2023

A dive into Anthony Hopkins's career to explain his role in Freud's Last Session. "Inevitably, these elder roles have provoked head-on confrontations with mortality, and Hopkins hasn’t shied away from the theme in his work. Yet none of those dramas can quite prepare viewers for what he brings to Freud’s Last Session, a film explicitly about preparing for the end of one’s life—and reflecting on all that came before it."

Benediction Review | by Alan Ng, Film Threat

May 15th, 2022

Review of feature film, Benediction, after its screening at the San Francisco International Film Festival. "If you like tragedies, hop on board the Benediction train. I say this somewhat facetiously, but I was drawn to the aimless character of Siegfried Sassoon. He was a man looking for happiness, but his sour demeanor toward life seemed to attract all the wrong people, leading him to chase the idea of happiness rather than being happy."
