Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
This somber work about the worthiness of living has little life in it.
"Last Love" starts out promising enough, but alas, it doesn't last.
This dull, dawdling film, adapted from Francoise Dorner's novel "La Douceur Assassine," eventually succumbs to sentimentality.
Not much happens in Sandra Nettelbeck's intimate family drama, but its well-drawn connections between lonely souls make an impact nonetheless.
