Instead of trying to provide insight into this genius's debilitating madness, Davis prefers to wallow in incoherent and cliched misery, punctuated by poetically oblique imagery.

A film of vitality, with imagery as haunting and romantic as it is intense.
Rex Reed, New York Observer

Modigliani is slow, shamefully cliched and disjointed as a cubist portrait.
Lisa Rose, Newark Star-Ledger
Rotten
Thanks to writer-director Mick Davis, the film, like its subject, dies young.

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.
