Just so you know - I love films which are good (even fairly good) biographies of artists. There are too few done. That said, recent Hollywood films want to keep to safe formulas in all their films, so one cannot expect "excellence". I really enjoyed this film, however, even though after watching it I had to review a biography of Modigliani, because I did not know much about his life. I knew about the artist's community and understood much of their interaction with other artists and authors in all those "decadent" years of the 20s. I understand that Frida was not yet in the group (but someone wanted her in the film ?!) and I still would like to know what real person was represented in little Dedo- a sweet little boy, but was he another illegitimate child from earlier times?? I see nothing in actual biography. All in all I think it IS a "KEEPER".
