Reviews

The Guardian -
A smart and beautiful meditation of fathers and sons (and the Father and Son) that is slow but never boring.
|
|
New York Magazine (Vulture) -
[A] haunting, beautiful movie.
|
|
Variety -
Deliberately paced, sparely imagined and suffused with mystery, writer-director Rodrigo Garcia’s seventh feature is nonetheless quite lucid and accessible in its themes of empathy, compassion and sacrifice, and grounded by a Christ/Satan dual performance by Ewan McGregor that plays vastly better onscreen than it sounds on paper.
|
|
Village Voice -
Last Days is weighty and somber, familiar and strange, in the way of Bible stories but not of contemporary faith-based filmmaking, which eschews mystery and paradox for homily.
|
|
The Film Stage -
By keeping characterization and plotting to a minimum, García has crafted a film in which he invites his audience to bring their own interpretations to the pensive story.
