...It's fascinating to see the lurid egomaniacal drama of Picasso's private life... -- Rating: B
Entertainment Weekly
Surviving Picasso not only fails to entertain; it puts the artist and his work at considerable risk by playing into the hands of modern-art-haters, in this respect like the book on which it claims to be based.

Rating: D+ --
Ambition notwithstanding, Surviving Picasso fails prodigiously, mostly out of its own confusion over who it is about and what it wants to say.

When it is over we are left with the conclusion that if Picasso had not been a great artist, this story would not have much mattered; as a beast toward women, he was nothing special.

...a stunning debut by Natascha McElhone...

Description by OLDIES.com:
Academy Award winner Anthony Hopkins gives a full-throttle performance as the acclaimed artist in this masterful movie told from the viewpoint of Picasso's longtime mistress and mother of his children Claude and Paloma.
Product Description:
Director James Ivory brings the life of an extraordinary artist to the screen in SURVIVING PICASSO. During the German occupation of Paris in 1943, legendary painter Pablo Picasso (Anthony Hopkins) launches a tumultuous 10-year affair with Françoise Gilot (Natasha McElhone in her first film role), an aspiring artist four decades his junior. Drawn by her beauty and vitality, the mercurial master nonetheless cannot resist the impulse to break her will with continued dalliances with other women and remorseless bullying. Julianne Moore is the painter's former lover, Dora Maar, and Diane Venora plays Jacqueline, the woman who would take Françoise's place with Picasso, in this fascinating portrait of the intense, larger-than-life character.
