The Last of Robin Hood Reviews
Richard Glatzer and Wash Westmoreland repeatedly refuse to pass judgement on their characters, which means the film is not really from Florence, or indeed anyone's, point of view, leaving the story to meander into some disturbing territory.

A heavily polished reenactment too apprehensive to really get its hands dirty.
| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Sep 5, 2019
It has to be one of the more nauseating tales from the Golden Age of Hollywood.
| Original Score: 4/10 | Dec 11, 2018
A film about actors, played by some of the best actors the movies have to offer, The Last of Robin Hood still manages to connect to the rest of us with characters whose flaws, though writ large, are all too human.
| Original Score: 3 of 5 | Apr 18, 2016
No doubt about it. Kevin Kline is meant to play Hollywood legend Errol Flynn. It's just too bad that "The Last of Robin Hood" didn't cover more ground.
| Original Score: C | Mar 18, 2015
The careful handling of the story has the unintended effect of sucking the life ( and practically all the juice ) out of what could have been a more-than-delicious piece of cinema trash.

...an exculpatory fairy tale
| Original Score: 84/100 | Sep 28, 2014
Movies shouldn't always judge their protagonists, but a little judging might have helped The Last of Robin Hood.
| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Sep 17, 2014
[It] looks lowly and limp, and we seldom feel just how much is at stake.

Clearly, the subject matter makes for a sordid Hollywood tale that's still relevant today. Why, then, is this story related with all the lackadaisical tempo of a Mutual of Omaha commercial?
| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Sep 13, 2014
Belongs to a newly active subgenre that we might dub the celebrity bio-episode, to distinguish it from the more conventional biopic...
| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Sep 13, 2014
The film becomes a showcase for Kline and Sarandon - and a reminder of how great actors can light up the screen, staying with you even as the rest of the film slips away.
Full Review | Original Score: 2.5/4 | Sep 11, 2014
The Last of Robin Hood is relatively harmless. That is also its major flaw, considering the harmful subject matter.
| Original Score: 1.5/5 | Sep 8, 2014
As art, it's considerably shallow, weighted down by thin writing and wan direction. But the film nevertheless holds you in its grip, as it cuts to the heart of how low people will stoop to gain - or maintain - the perks of celebrity.
| Original Score: B- | Sep 8, 2014
A strong trio of leads can't overcome a lackluster script.
| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Sep 8, 2014
This is a film that is truly about a sketchy, taboo subject, but it's surprisingly lukewarm, tepid even, taking few risks other than trying to simply lay out events that happened.
| Original Score: 1.5/5 | Sep 5, 2014
Scandalous May-December romance has sex, language.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Sep 5, 2014
It's a magnificent performance by Kline inside a flat, lifeless movie.
| Original Score: 2/4 | Sep 5, 2014
Terrific performances help mine the poignancy in a legendary tabloid story.
| Original Score: 3/4 | Sep 5, 2014
