Mother Should Know! On-Air Review of ‘Freud’s Last Session’
Rating: 4.5/5.0 |
CHICAGO – Patrick McDonald of HollywoodChicago.com appears on “The Morning Mess” with Scott Thompson on WBGR-FM (Monroe, Wisconsin) on January 4th, 2024, reviewing “Freud’s Last Session,” featuring Anthony Hopkins portraying Sigmund Freud. In theaters January 5th, 2024.
This was a fictional story … based on a play … about the last days of Sigmund Freud (Anthony Hopkins), who died in London in 1939. The main action takes place in Freud’s London office just as World War II is beginning for England, as he reluctantly keeps an appointment with academic C.S. Lewis (Matthew Goode), who in the future will be a famous theologian and creator for the Chronicles of Narnia. As the radio gives news of impending attacks, the two philosophers debate the existence of God and what life means. Freud in the meantime reveals that he is dying of oral cancer, which escalates the discussion to a new level.
