The Last Face Reviews

Jan 23, 2025

Such an awesome movie! Warning: Extremely graphic and offensive. If rotten tomatoes rates the movie as 1 or 2 stars, it'll be a great movie! If rotten tomatoes rates the movie as 4 or 5 stars, it'll be a terrible and boring movie.

I have traveled extensively throughout Africa. People often ask me why I keep returning, and my answer is simple: the people. Despite the historical hardships they’ve endured, their smiles never fail to warm my heart. "The Last Face" profoundly impacted me, evoking a sense of guilt for not having done more to help. The film's core message—how much can one person do to make a difference? —resonates deeply with me. I was left stunned and somewhat depressed after seeing my friends depicted once again facing such immense challenges.

I get where all the actors and director was coming from with the CLEAR in your face people are suffering in Africa let me stretch scenes of doctors tired, people dying, crying,......... and here is a terrible love story for the ages as well.

I couldn't watch the whole movie it was so bad. It had no cohesive plot or decipherable story line. Probably why Robin Wright couldn't get any backing for it. t Your time can be better spent looking for a better movie to watch.

What might have been a powerful story with an important message turns into a two hour soap opera. Predictable characters who slog through African wars only to return to the comfort of their air brushed lives. Good for background noise only.

Sean Penn dirige uno dei film più discussi degli ultimi anni; un film a due facce, capace di deludere profondamente sotto il punto di vista del "lato umanitario" quanto di soddisfare il lato romantico e fotografico. Immagini forti all'inverosimile, volte a smuovere anche il cuore più freddo, non sono poi supportate dalla giusta contestualizzazione; sembra quasi che il tutto sia girato in una paese immaginario che riassume tutti i conflitti d'Africa. D'altro canto, Bardem e Theron sono in grado di emozionare e di conquistare totalmente lo schermo con il loro rapporto e il loro gioco di sguardi su cui Penn punta molto con una lunghissima serie di primi piani. Sicuramente chi si aspettava un film profondo, fotografia di una specifica situazione, rimarrà totalmente deluso; chi invece si aspettava un dramma hollywodiano in piena regola (come il sottoscritto) potrà godersi il film. La musica è adeguata al contesto.

I loved the movie. Will watch again. Love story great but the humanitarian issue is unbelievable and this movie was so well directed! Sean Penn always makes you think!!

Not a movie for those who can’t understand unless they hear the words, read emotions, or see the details of a wide picture. The soundtrack was fantastic !!

Wonderful and heartfelt

It stands to reason that a beautiful cast being tasked to be truly flawed but well meaning characters in a seemingly impossible (even if plausible) heroic situation will elict anything but avoidance from the general public. It has to be said that Theron glows unlike any other actress despite the situation of an admittedly well directed film by Penn.

I love Javier Bardem and Charlize Theron. I think they are such great actors. This movie was a mess, I hated it! And that soft-spoken "pillow talk".... ridiculous!

The film has good intentions, but falls in too many clichés.

Solid performances don't justify putting the two stars front and center to tell their love story, while setting the slaughter and atrocities of war to be left in the background.. It had some very difficult moments to watch.

The reality slams you, sickens you, startles you and finally you either believe it can like the way the movie portray or it is just Hollywood. I was there, in Africa, with medical care and it is as bad as the movie portrayed. Great acting by Javier Bardem and Charlize Theron. Highly recommended

was aweful I could not finish watching it.

Apr 22, 2018

Beautifull movie,with great performances and absolutely realistic with no happy end.

Mar 26, 2018

I do not understand the negative critics at all. This movie is outstanding, without any happy end which hollywood movies usually should have. It just shows life as it is with all aspects, a snapshot on how reality touches human beings everywhere around the world. Fantastic. Just compare this movie with all the shallow blockbusters from hollywood

This is an otherwise excellent movie which plot is only ruined by the too-long romantic scenes between the main characters, to the point that I decided to fast forward a couple of times during such scenes. Out of the two hour running time, this could have been a four or four and a half stars one hour and a half film if Sean Penn had only stuck to the war issue. Still, critics, as usual, are so stupid. This movie is by no means a one star disappointment.
