   Critics consensus Mapplethorpe's conventional biopic approach to a decidedly unconventional artist undermines its efforts to convey the gifts that made its subject special. More reviews on Rotten Tomatoes

1. • • Smith is effortlessly good, but his efforts are wasted in this numbing, by-the-numbers biopic, and the real Mapplethorpe's striking visual creations are blunted by a middling, timid presentation. Directed by Ondi Timoner, who made the excellent rock documentary DIG! (2004), Mapplethorpe is a surprising dud.

   Is 'Mapplethorpe' a good movie?

   • “Mapplethorpe” is defined by cliche biopic problems: a chronological approach and emphasis on facts that makes it a slow bore, as informative as the film might be for newcomers. It starts with him as a young man leaving the confines of the stuffy Pratt Institute to become a hustling artist in 1970s New York City.

   Why should you watch Robert Mapplethorpe's biopic?

   • A superb performance by former Doctor Who Matt Smith is the only reason to see Ondi Timoner’s biopic about controversial photographer Robert Mapplethorpe. Any movie about the boundary-pushing photographer Robert Mapplethorpe has to be willing to transgress.

   Is Mapplethorpe vanilla a movie?

   • It's Mapplethorpe Vanilla. March 2, 2019 | Full Review… A conventional biopic of renegade photographer Robert Mapplethorpe (a stranded Matt Smith) is a contradiction in terms, the pallid result feeling like an outline for a movie that no one actually made.
