The Playlist -
The film that follows is, admittedly, a bit of a mess. It’s also compelling, energetic, and well-acted, finding one of our most intriguing filmmakers all but flinging herself outside of her comfort zone.

Los Angeles Times -
There’s some overreach and muddle here — you wouldn’t want a pop quiz on the plot — but “Last Thing” remains an intriguing, visually diverting piece, well shot by Bobby Bukowski.

Film Threat -
The Last Thing He Wanted is trying to be too many things at once. It goes off on several tangents that don’t ever conclude.

IndieWire -
Nothing connects, nothing gels, and every thread is lost.

The Guardian -
The Last Thing He Wanted is a thing that no one wanted.
