Life and Death of Peter Sellers a Portrait of An Empty Vessel
The film portrays Peter Sellers as a gifted but hollow figure shaped by an overbearing mother and a life of self reinvented personas. Geoffrey Rush shines as Sellers though the biography yields little warmth or growth and ends with a muted late career. Price’s Prognosis rates the movie three and a half out of ten.
