The Last Mistress Ratings & Reviews
Chicago Tribune
Michael Phillips
Argento seizes each scene with both hands, adding surprising layers of feeling as she goes.
Boston Globe
Ty Burr
Cool, carnal, and lethal, The Last Mistress is a period drama with a difference.
Newsday
Rafer Guzman
It's devastating.
Los Angeles Times
Robert Abele
[An] entertaining, elegantly shot adaptation of Jules Barbey d'Aurevilly's 19th century novel.
Detroit News
Tom Long
There's a brittle pomp and circumstance to The Last Mistress, which suddenly turns into a sensual witch's dance, once star Asia Argento is let loose about a third of the way into the film.
San Francisco Chronicle
Mick LaSalle
[Breillat] is inviting us to really look at sex as it occurs in life, and to engage with it mentally, as a driving mystery of human existence.
Seattle Times
John Hartl
[Breillat's] latest and possibly most entertaining exercise in erotica.
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
It is Claude Sarraute's performance that I love most of all in the film. I can easily imagine spending the night in the salon of this old lady, and telling her everything she wants to hear.
Philadelphia Inquirer
Carrie Rickey
Lush. Debauched. Ravishing. And did I mention sexy? The Last Mistress, from French controversialist Catherine Breillat, is Dangerous Liaisons, uncorseted and undressed.
Austin Chronicle
Marc Savlov
Argento... owns this film, body and soullessness.
The New Yorker
Richard Brody
The director Catherine Breillat's period adaptation of an 1851 novel by Barbey d'Aurevilly delivers sex and pain with style and conviction that render her familiar themes new again.
Chicago Reader
Jonathan Rosenbaum
It's characteristic of the virtues and limitations of French sexual provocateur Catherine Breillat...that they usually derive from the same source--the fearless determination to skirt the borders of camp.
The New Republic
Stanley Kauffmann
Asia Argento, as Vellini, is a firebrand, a woman who is attractive even in non-seductive moments when she is angry or downcast or 'off-stage.'
Observer
Andrew Sarris
Ms. Breillat has forgone the anarchic force of her earlier forays into the still relatively underdeveloped realm of female sexuality. As a pioneer of sorts in her field, she has earned this temporary respite of classicism represented by The Last Mistress.
UGO
Keith Uhlich
I can get partially behind any movie that commences with Michael Lonsdale greedily and noisily chomping into a moist leg of pheasant.
Cinematical
Nick Schager
The Last Mistress' fervent energy is derived from its titular mistress' explode-at-any-second volatility.
Entertainment Weekly
Lisa Schwarzbaum
The sumptuous costumes and florid dialogue in The Last Mistress represent early-19th-century French custom at its most curlicued, but the power of one woman's molten sexuality is timeless in Catherine Breillat's rich drama.
Salon.com
Stephanie Zacharek
As gorgeous-looking as the picture is, you could never accuse Breillat of anything so banal as good taste.
New York Post
V.A. Musetto
The most overtly sensual film to come our way of late.
