Last Night

Last Night is on to something fascinating. It meditates on the meaning of adultery: the purposes it serves, beyond sex.

Beautifully shot and reeking with style, Last Night is as slow as sorghum; nothing ever really happens.

Nominally a story about sex, lies and faithfulness, Last Night is more truly a cautionary tale about mousetrap narratives.

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.

First-time director Massy Tadjedin conjures some essence of constrained desire, but mostly from the architecture.

Given how prominent the postcard sultriness of her backdrop is compared with the story's emotional ping-pong, all she ends up with is a kinder, chicer Adrian Lyne movie.

Last Night is a New York morality play: A film in love with (lower) Manhattan that is suspicious of real romance. What it lacks is Allen's sense of horseplay; his appetite for lunatic adventure. When you take a bite of the Big Apple, you're not supposed to nibble.

Yes, this premise has been touched on in dozens of films. What Last Night manages to achieve is a deeper and more intimate look at relationships. Side note: Keira Knightley is amazing.

An underrated little film about life, relationships, and choices. The wonderful direction by Tadjedin and good performance from Keira Knightley make this film what it is. Worthington is also solid, but not as much when Knightley is not on screen with him. I might have wanted a little more from Mendes and Canet. Good character piece.

To me, this seemed a somewhat predictable film, in terms of the plot development. I thought it must surely be based on a play but when I looked it up online, it seems it isn't (or its not mentioned on IMDB in any case). The performances are ok but its not exactly a memorable, certainly not a stand out, film and overall I'd say its ok but no more. I wouldn't go out of your way to see this, perhaps unless your a particularly big fan of Keira Knightley perhaps. Eva Mendes is ok in it too but there's little else that especially appealed to me. Its very much a film that I felt was/is aimed at upper middle class people, which is centered on morality. It made me think somewhat of the film Closer, starring Jude Law. Its not an awful film as such but its just not particularly...good either, so I wouldn't especially recommend it as such, no.

This movie made Amelia with Gere and Swank look exciting. Knightly and Worthington are completely wasted in this drivel. Although it was good to see Worthington in something else besides ancient armor it didn't help. These were the most unsympathetic characters I've see on film in a long time. There is no exploration of any consequence of the characters. It seems as if the intent was too produce a "see what happens if you cheat" movie and then the writer got lost trying to bore us to death.
