Nina Metz Chicago Tribune Despite its well-intentioned aims, “Last Take” reduces Hutchins’ life to the circumstances of her death. Mar 17, 2025 Full Review Matt Goldberg TheWrap Its focus may be scattershot, and it may not change a single mind when it comes to placing blame, but like with grief, working through the pain is never clean and tidy. Mar 12, 2025 Full Review Sam Adams Slate Left unsaid, and underexplored by Last Take, is how the culture of a film shoot, built from the ground up each time out, is formed, and whose job it is to set the tone. Mar 12, 2025 Full Review Stephen Silver The SS Ben Hecht Some bad things were going on on that movie set, clearly, although the film doesn’t definitively solve what happened. Apr 4, 2025 Full Review Abhishek Srivastava The Times of India This documentary is a courageous effort by a friend to uncover the truth, preserve Halyna’s legacy, and remind the world of a brilliant talent lost to a tragic accident. Rated: 3.5/5 Mar 20, 2025 Full Review Jennifer Green Common Sense Media This documentary avoids rubber-necking a tragedy but maintains viewers' attention with impressive behind-the-scenes and archive footage, first-hand interviews, and a notable tension.
