On the eve of the Second World War, two of the greatest minds of the 20th century, father of psychoanalysis Sigmund Freud (Anthony Hopkins) and children’s author C.S. Lewis (Matthew Goode) converge for their own personal battle over the existence of God, the future of mankind and the complex relationships that shaped them.
Adapted by Mark St. Germain from his off-Broadway smash, FREUD’S LAST SESSION interweaves the lives of Freud and Lewis - past, present, and through fantasy. Director Matthew Brown’s cinematic adaptation bursts through the walls of Freud’s study, taking the two characters out on a dynamic journey across London.
Academy Award winner Anthony Hopkins (The Father) and Emmy nominee Matthew Goode (The Crown, Downton Abbey) deliver "sterling performances" (Deadline) as these two titans of the 20th century. The film also stars Liv Lisa Fries (Babylon Berlin), Jodi Balfour (For All Mankind), Stephen Campbell Moore (The History Boys), Jeremy Northam (The Crown) and Orla Brady (Star Trek: Picard).
"Hopkins has had a pretty amazing late-career resurgence, and this performance can be added to that list of achievements. "
