Garry A @heavyg Jun 12, 2026 If you love the male body and enjoy a lot of nudity then this is the film for you. See more Wayne S @RT68546497 Sep 19, 2025 It's a biopic, and as such it's a fairly uncreative approach like so many others are. But films such as this rest on the performance of the actor playing the subject. Here Matt Smith is terrific and convincing. In fact all performances are excellent and sell it as a engrossing look at Mapplethorpe's life.

It is a full on sex, drugs and rock and roll story set against the dizzying background of New York in the 1970s and 1980s and the movie really confronts the nature of Mapplethorpe's work. If you have ever seen his photographs and wondered about the man behind the lens, you need to see this film. See more Dec 7, 2020 The writer & director cowered at the opportunity a movie about Mapplethorpe gave them. While I commend the filmmakers for not flinching in showing some of Mapplethorpe’s work, this biopic is as bland as I heated chicken broth. How can you make a movie about such an icon and have so little to share about his life, method and motivation. See more Jul 21, 2019 Matt Smith is amazing as Mapplethorpe! See more Read all reviews
