Top Critics Reviews
fresh:
This film has its own nature, almost its own reality. The sudden finish almost seems meant to make it our responsibility to comprehend the whole.

rotten:
That old arthouse chestnut, about the restorative power of naked young women, gets another outing in this pretty but superficial musing on the creative process.

rotten:
The film's insights about beauty are ... superficial. They amount to such commonplace observations as the fact that no two leaves are alike.

"The Artist and the Model" is a contemplative ode to creativity and imagination.

It is about inspiration and beauty, of course - and Folch, as a vagabond who escaped from a Spanish refugee camp, is certainly inspiring and beautiful.
