These clips make about as much sense in context as they do here.

"A fantastic reminder that the only thing worse than a bad movie is a bad, pretentious movie."

Phoebe Flowers, South Florida Sun-Sentinel

"Both Modi and Jeanne are genuinely tragic figures. But the movie so trivializes them as adolescents, lacking control of their own emotions, that their tragedy never takes hold."

Kirk Honeycutt, Hollywood Reporter

"No one expected a documentary, but serious art-history students may feel let down."

Luke Y. Thompson, New Times

"Thanks to writer-director Mick Davis, the film, like its subject, dies young."

Kyle Smith, New York Post

"It's hard to take this oddball movie seriously, right down to the undisguised streetwise-American accent of Andy Garcia as the Italian Jew Amedeo Modigliani."

Jami Bernard, New York Daily News

"Failing to invest famous characters with the depth to break free of a made-for-TV feel, earnest misfire does make one want to read up on the real Modigliani."

Lisa Nesselson, Variety

[CliffsideFilms]

"Modigliani is slow, shamefully cliched and disjointed as a cubist portrait."

Lisa Rose, Newark Star-Ledger

"The best and maybe the only use to be made of the catastrophic screen biography Modigliani is to serve as a textbook outline of how not to film the life of a legendary artist."

Stephen Holden, New York Times

"It is a tidy stack of snapshots, unencumbered by a point of view."

Scott Brown, Entertainment Weekly

[DanielleFichtner]

The title is 100% correct. 'Scenes From Modigliani' is the worst "movie" ever made.

What is a thing beauty? What makes art beautiful? It’s the ability to bring order to our thoughts. It's like technology ones it has touched our life we cannot uninvent it! It has altered state/perception that evolves our thoughts, changes our lives. I value the movie Modigliani among the best romantic tragedies that has ever touched my life. It is a tribute to the innamorati in the same sense as Carlo Goldini’s “Venetian twin”, “Lovers destine to be, kept separate by the cruelty of the gods”

Unbelieveble how somebody could not like this movie. It doesn't show cliches, but it shows the real life. The real life of a poor artist with a outstanding personality. Great music, great acting and great decors.

To bad so few people saw the movie.

I beg to differ with the negative comments, this movie had a strange pulling quality for me, and it made me cry in the ending, the actors and actresses did a great job in portraying the characters, it was believable, it's not a popular film, but I do say, it's a great one, it takes alot to make me cry, the meaning of it, the love that modi's wife had for him was rare, and morbidly beautiful

Movie is exceptionally prodcued. If you don't appreciate the these scenes, then maybe you should stick to the dribble Hollywood creates

Great movie...Tragic love!

[Gloglozs]

If you have a working heart, you can't dislike this. Having one that is good only for crtiticize is a bad thing. It's not so strange that not everybody can understand art.

Then.. great movie, really. It made me start painting :)
