Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
McKellar is a good storyteller, and he demonstrates a clever -- albeit dark -- sense of humor. But much of it goes for naught because of the movie's sterile patina.
Last Night succeeds where so many other films have failed because it concentrates on the element that its predecessors have ignored: the human factor.
Bare-bones filmmaking, Last Night is nothing special to look at, but it has a witty, trenchant script, lots of complicated characters, and a few actors who turn human frailty into something nearly sublime.
A wry treat.
