The film "Freud's Last Session" is an adaptation of the stage play of the same name written by Mark St. Germain, which, in turn, draws inspiration from the non-fiction book "The Question of God" by Armand Nicholi. This thought-provoking book also served as the basis for a non-fiction documentary aired on PBS. The play primarily focuses on their conversation, delving into their intellectual exchanges, while the film expands upon this premise by incorporating scenes from their personal lives outside of their dialogue.

At the time of the film's release, both Anthony Hopkins and Matthew Goode were only a few years older than the characters they portrayed: Hopkins, at 85, was two years older than Sigmund Freud's 83, while Goode, at 45, was five years older than C.S. Lewis' 40. In contrast, the actresses Orla Brady and Liv Lisa Fries, who portrayed Janie Moore and Anna Freud respectively, were notably younger than their characters. Brady, aged 62, was 15 years younger than Janie Moore's 77, and Fries, aged 33, was 11 years younger than Anna Freud's 44.
