Critics Consensus

While admittedly a self-indulgent exercise, Tommaso is powerfully anchored by an outstanding central performance from Willem Dafoe.

This quasi-confessional drama about a frustrated filmmaker, written and directed by Abel Ferrara, plays more like a vain boast.

2/4

As such, it's a glossy, overlong, intermittently arresting tour of an aging artist's fears and fancies as his wild ways are domesticated.

B+

What sets Tommaso apart are its diaristic qualities, held together by Dafoe's performance.

4/5

There are bits of greatness scattered throughout this film, and even if Ferrara does not manage to convince us entirely, these pieces, as well as Dafoe’s acting, make Tommaso a very curious film, especially character-wise.

The traits that define Ferrara's best work are present and precise...a mixture of the mundane and the otherworldly, the physical and the spiritual, the material and the mystical.

There are several things to admire in 'Tommaso', namely being the performance of Willem Dafoe and the brilliant cinematography. There is plenty of Dafoe who often gets his close up and thrives in almost every instance. The problem with this is two fold. There's essentially no character development as everyone stays the same. That can be find if we have an enjoyable narrative which we don't. I mean the best way to describe this is a film that has many branches, but no roots. Still if you're a Dafoe completist, you won't want to miss it! Final Score: 6.3/10
