Top Critics Reviews
rotten:
Van Sant's refusal to delve into his subject in anything but an abstract way renders the movie pointless and frustrating -- a lyrical, lovely tone poem, signifying little.

rotten:
A film about a junkie rock musician, played by Michael Pitt at his most narcissistic, doing nothing in particular for the better part of 97 minutes isn't my idea of either a good time or a serious endeavor.
– Jonathan Rosenbaum,

rotten:
While Last Days succeeds as a nature documentary, Van Sant fails to penetrate human nature. The result is a portrait without a face.

fresh:
Last Days will cast a poetic spell on some viewers, as it did this one, and will seem mind-sappingly boring to others.
– Terry Lawson,

fresh:
Last Days is director Gus Van Sant's meditation on the death of Kurt Cobain, and an extraordinary meditation it is.
