Last Night Reviews
Slickly written and finely acted, Last Night is at its core a character study.

| Original Score: A- | Sep 7, 2011
The film is as shiny and thin as a coat of nail varnish, but beguilingly photographed...
| Jun 5, 2011
An hour and a half of pan-American todger-teasing.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Jun 4, 2011
The word sexy is horribly overused. When it comes to this pair, though, it's the only word that will do.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Jun 3, 2011
It's quite enjoyable, and the ending is very good -- I just didn't believe a moment of it.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Jun 3, 2011
A good-looking, tightly-scripted and ever-so-slightly superficial drama about a married couple on the brink of infidelity.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Jun 2, 2011
A small-scale, indulgent but worthwhile movie from writer-director Massy Tadjedin about infidelity, jealousy and the quarter-life crisis.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Jun 2, 2011
Leaves you to fill in the gaps, but you won't care enough to bother.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Jun 2, 2011
'Last Night' is an empty exercise in sheer self-regard, a tedious, lifeless trawl through the secret lives of the rich and beautiful.
| Original Score: 1/5 | Jun 1, 2011
Tadjedin brings out the best of her strong cast but all the eyeball-melting beautyon display and the highly polished treatment of the story could have done with a touch of authentic grit.
| Original Score: 3/5 | May 30, 2011
Forget about sex or adultery -- there isn't enough life in Last Night.
| Original Score: 1.5/4 | May 27, 2011
Tadjedin banks on the power of telling, familiar moments, betting that viewers will recognize the heartache at the center of a fleeting expression or hurried action. For the most part, her gamble pays off.
| Original Score: 2.5/4 | May 13, 2011
It's the sort of movie that thinks cutting between two different stories makes it art. Usually, it feels like an exercise in art. There's a lot of calisthenics but very little beauty or truth or whatever it is the movie is going for.
| Original Score: 2/4 | May 12, 2011
Will Michael succumb and prove Joanna correct in her suspicions? Will Alex's French accent conquer all? Do you care? I didn't.
| Original Score: C- | May 6, 2011
Massy Tadjedin's intimate directorial debut takes a spare, thoughtful approach to relationships.
| Original Score: 3/5 | May 6, 2011
Tadjedin shows an intimate understanding of how couples communicate through ellipses and of all that remains unsaid even amid torrents of angry words.
Full Review | Original Score: 3.5/5 | May 6, 2011
Suspenseful though it is, the movie is quiet to the point of being sleepy, and Worthington is simply not working out as a screen star.
| Original Score: 2/4 | May 6, 2011
He's withheld and she's, frankly, grating. So we don't really care if they weather the current storm, because sooner or later they're bound to get divorced, anyway.
| Original Score: 2/4 | May 5, 2011
It's hard to care about the fate of a marriage that never quite comes into focus.
| Original Score: 2/5 | May 5, 2011
