[The performances of the two leads are good but] do too little to ameliorate The Last Letter From Your Lover from the wounds of tropes and conventions.

Jones and Woodley are more than capable of capturing the humanity of their characters... Where the film falls short is in being able to provide any astute or profound observations about the romantic complications that fuel the film's central plot.

The Last Letter From Your Lover delivers a compelling mystery that draws viewers in with its energy and presentation.
| Original Score: 7.5/10 | Jan 16, 2023
It’s a romance with a faux emotional connection that, on screen, frankly, has not been earned.
| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Oct 9, 2022
“The Last Letter From Your Lover” isn’t the movie to usher in a new wave of romance films, but it does give a little taste of what the genre can be. I just wish it was a more filling meal.

The Last Letter From Your Lover is a glossy tale of lost love that will work for fans of disposable weepies. Those expecting more may return to sender.

By trying to service two love stories, The Last Letter from Your Lover fails to adequately do justice to either.

It knows what it is and it knows what it needs to do - and it does those things efficiently to create a perfectly serviceable and enjoyable rom-com.
| Original Score: 7/10 | Aug 28, 2021
The real damage is done in the present-day storyline, which is clunky and close to torture once it's been inevitably decided that the only thing better than one love story is, er, two.

Overall, this light-hearted double love story works perfectly well and delivers what it sets out to.

This is lovely lightweight stuff, with solid performances and striking vintage fashions on display throughout.
| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Aug 13, 2021
The cast elevates this material but it still drags on for far too long to recommend.
| Original Score: 4/10 | Aug 12, 2021
Indecision and miscommunication, it turns out, are timeless.
| Original Score: 4/5 | Aug 8, 2021
Augustine Frizzell's breathless feature should come with a heavy schmaltz warning, and piles on the melodrama mercilessly.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Aug 6, 2021
Opulent in style and cinematography, this strained romantic drama cannot hide the hole where its heart should be.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Aug 6, 2021
It is distinctly forgettable, the quicker the better.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Aug 6, 2021
With an often ropey script, an insufferable key character and more than one moment when I wanted to scream, "Just get together already!" this love letter rather gets lost in the post.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Aug 6, 2021
An adaptation of a Jojo Moyes novel, here's a half-baked movie that offers two love stories for the price of one.
