Overview
- The biographical drama Moss & Freud, starring Ellie Bamber as Kate Moss and Derek Jacobi as Lucian Freud, opens in U.K. cinemas from Friday, May 29, according to multiple reports.
- Kate Moss served as an executive producer, provided editorial input and lent original runway and personal wardrobe items to the production to shape its depiction of her life.
- Ellie Bamber has led the London press tour and premiere appearances while wearing archival Moss looks sourced from designers and Moss’s own archive to connect the film to the model’s 1990s image.
- Coverage describes the film as a frank, 'warts‑and‑all' portrait that includes depictions of Moss’s party years and personal ordeals without revealing plot outcomes.
- Director James Lucas says he would not have made the film without Moss’s approval, and the movie foregrounds the sitter‑painter relationship around Lucian Freud’s 2002 Naked Portrait as its central emotional and artistic focus.
