An imagined conversation between two eminent historical figures who may or may not have ever met — nobody seems to know — forms the heart of Freud’s Last Session, an intellectual fable from Sony Pictures Classics that grew out of a play and, before that, a book and an Ivy League seminar.
Oscar-winner Anthony Hopkins plays the inventor of psychoanalysis, Sigmund Freud, opposite Matthew Goode as the celebrated author and theologian C.S. Lewis in a cerebral clash of titans. But as director Matthew Brown said on Deadline’s Contenders Film: Los Angeles panel, the movie version as he envisioned it almost didn’t happen.
“I mean you always dream that you would have an actor like Hopkins say he would do the role,” Brown said. “And we did try once and we didn’t get very far. And then we did some more work on the script and tried again. And then he said yes, which was just miraculous.”
Shot in Ireland, where the 86-year-old Hopkins did his first movie more than 50 years ago, Freud’s Last Session presents the two men’s dueling philosophies through an imagined in-person encounter coupled with dream sequences, flashbacks and notable supporting characters including Freud’s daughter Anna (Liv Lisa Fries) and Lewis’ literary friend J.R.R. Tolkein (Stephen Campbell Moore).
The atheist Austrian doctor born in 1856 and the devout British novelist born in 1898 — a convert to religion — held strong and seemingly irreconcilable views on the possibility of God’s existence and humankind’s reason for being. A middle-aged Lewis, still haunted by his World War I combat experiences, and the much older Freud, who is dying of cancer, meet in Freud’s home in Vienna as Europe is sliding toward another war.
Their discourse — underlined by their own

Nimona has had quite a journey before arriving on Netflix. After Disney acquired Blue Sky Studios, the film was repeatedly delayed before being canceled in 2021 when the studio was dissolved. Directors Nick Bruno and Troy Quane, along with the creator of the graphic novel ND Stevenson, liken the experience to the story of Nimona, the “scrappy underdog” fighting against the superpower looking for conformity. The fight paid off the following year, where Annapurna Pictures and Netflix picked up the film and gave it a new chance at life.
