It’s the onset of WWII and Sigmund Freud (Anthony Hopkins), who is nearing the end of his life, invites the celebrated Christian author C S Lewis for a debate over the existence of God. Exploring Freud’s unique relationship with his lesbian daughter Anna (Liv Lisa Fries) and Lewis’ unconventional romance with his best friend’s mother (Orla Brady), the film interweaves past, present and fantasy, opening out from the confines of Freud’s study on a dynamic journey.

WHY WATCH THIS FILM? Because it’s such an intriguing idea.

“It’s a terrific premise, pitting two iconic worldviews against each other to confront ideas about faith, morality and relationships. Director Matthew Brown has made a terrific-looking film, with strong period detail and a witty script. And it’s anchored by two riveting performances.” Shadows on the Wall

“Hopkins and Goode give two understated yet impressively precise performances. We have no idea if two of the greatest minds of the 20th century ever met in real life, but that is all beside the point. The result is a film that manages to be full of tenderness and clever repartee.” The Sun
