Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
Rotten
Rehashing old arguments in the hours before certain death is a tedious waste of time - theirs, and ours.
Scott Tobias, NPR
Fresh
If the end of the world was just hours away, would New Yorkers still be able to get takeout? Yes, if Abel Ferrara's mind-bending "4:44 Last Day on Earth'' is any indication.
V.A. Musetto, New York Post
Fresh
Ferrara movingly celebrates connection, cooking life down to just its barest essence: a man, a woman and a need.
Mark Olsen, Los Angeles Times
Rotten
Ferrara doesn't give his protagonists room to do much beyond have arguments and sex (though the intimacy is shot well).
Scott Bowles, USA Today
