Full Plot Details

The professional and personal life of actor and comedian Peter Sellers was a turbulent one. His early movie fame was based primarily on his comic characterizations, often of bumbling and foreign-accented persons, characters which he embodied. As his movie fame rose, he began to lose his own personal identity to his movie characters, leading to self-doubt of himself as a person and a constant need for reassurance and acceptance of his work. This self-doubt manifested itself in fits of anger and what was deemed as arrogance by many. In turn, his personal relationships began to deteriorate as his characterizations were continually used to mask his problems. His first wife, Anne Howe, left/divorced him and his relationships with his parents and children became increasingly distant. His relationship with his second wife, Swedish actress Britt Ekland, was based on this mask. In his later life, he tried to rediscover himself and his career with what would become his penultimate film role, that of Chance in Being There (1979).

Movie Reviews

Nick's Flick Picks - 9/10 by Nick Davis"There was no real Peter Sellers"... As a theme, it smells of the tired cop-out, somewhere in the same clubhouse of desiccated phrases as "I love you, but I'm not in love with you" and "In a crazy world, only the mad people are sane."
Variety - 8/10 by Todd McCarthySustains interest most of the way, but combination of an unsympathetic central figure and patchy recreation of events involving numerous famous people makes for an ambitiously told life story that finally doesn't cut it.
FilmStew.com - 7/10 by Larry CarrollThe best biopic you're likely to see this year won't be coming to a theater near you.
Boston Phoenix - 7/10 by Joyce MillmanThe film makes you care so little for its subject that you might be compelled to turn it off were it not for Rush's valiant mimicry.
Ebert & Roeper - 7/10 by Richard RoeperWe get movie scenes within movie scenes, and Rush as Sellers breaking character to become Sellers' mom or Edwards, commenting on Sellers, and it all draws too much attention to itself.
Film Snobs - 6/10 by Jimmy OA great impressionistic piece about an actor's fantasy becoming their reality. Director Hopkins really makes an exciting leap of faith.
Cinema Crazed - 6/10 by Felix Vasquez Jr.A very good biographical picture of a human being who made people laugh, but could never find the humor in his own life.
User Review - 10/10 by gary ti really quite enjoyed this flick this has got a good cast of actors/actressess throughout this movie i think that the director of this Drama movie had done a really good job of directing this movie because you never know what 2 expecvt throughout this movie its got great performances throughout by all the actor/actressess throughout this movie its a sad/tragic movie 2 watch...its a really good enjoyable movie 2 watch its got some good comic performances throughout this movie its enjoyable as well n its a good movie 2 watch as well
User Review - 10/10 by Simone WGeoffrey Rush is dead on. This movie is trippy and stylish, though sometimes it seems to lose momentum. Still a good film to see.
User Review - 10/10 by Lauren Bthis movie changed my view of peter sellers entirely. Geoffrey Rush portrays him so brilliantly, and the film itself is fantastic. It really shows Sellers' darker side to his life. (Especially when he talks to his wife as Dr. Strangelove.)
