Last Resort Ratings & Reviews
New York Magazine/Vulture
Peter Rainer
One of the few films to get at the ways in which single mothers and their sons alternate being authority figures.
Houston Chronicle
Eric Harrison
Dramatically low-key, Last Resort is beautifully acted, with striking realism.
Washington Post
Rita Kempley
Gives grim and gritty a good name.
Entertainment Weekly
Owen Gleiberman
Moving and eerily beautiful.
Detroit Free Press
Terry Lawson
Pawlikowski ... renders the events of Last Resort so unsentimentally that they unfold with the authenticity of an affecting documentary.
Seattle Times
John Hartl
Obliquely affecting.
Newsday
Jan Stuart
Fasten your seat belt, and don't blink for a second.
New York Times
A.O. Scott
Last Resort shares with movies like Lynne Ramsay's Ratcatcher and Emmanuel Finkiel's Voyages a simultaneous commitment to truth-telling and formal exploration.
New York Post
Lou Lumenick
Small but surprisingly satisfying.
Los Angeles Times
Kenneth Turan
This is the best class of poetic realism, the kind you can believe in without a trace of hesitation.
Detroit News
Susan Stark
There's no denying that Last Resort is motivated by heart and solidly humane, altruistic intentions. The romantic glaze on the heartfelt core of the film, however, suggests commercial longings -- and naivete.
Denver Post
Steven Rosen
Has a broodingly beautiful aesthetic sensibility.
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
You walk out of the theater curiously touched.
Boston Globe
Jay Carr
All three leads underplay effectively, and the verite style reinforces the arbitrariness with which events impinge upon their lives and force some choices.
Washington Post
Desson Thomson
Pawlikowski's style makes for compelling, if sometimes grittily depressing, viewing.
Dallas Morning News
Chris Vognar
Balances gritty naturalism and compelling drama.
Philadelphia Inquirer
Steven Rea
Pawlikowski and his actors surprise us with fully drawn characters who defy the hopelessness and doom of their surroundings.
The Hollywood Reporter
Michael Rechtshaffen
The film should help position the award-winning documentarian as a feature writer-director of considerable promise.
Chicago Tribune
Loren King
Gritty, offbeat, appealing love story.
Film.com
Ernest Hardy
Bittersweet and ultimately uplifting.
