Afouotos Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.
DanSilov I've picked this up out of boredom, wanted something simple and easy, fully expecting a generic dramedy with cliché characters. What I got was something entirely different.There are not too many films that try to explore the topic of betrayal in a relationship in its full. Yes, obviously it's one one of most common tropes in any kind of medium, but usually it's really one-sided. But true exploration of betrayal touches both sides, tries to uncover reasons, motivation behind it all, and, what's especially difficult, what do to after the fact.Last Night is surprisingly deep. We see people who are in love, who are confused, who have to deal with temptation, make a decision.Is it possible to love two people at the same time? What's worse, physical betrayal or emotional one? If something is true and pure, is it worth flushing everything else you have in your life down the toilet and pursuing this chance of happiness?All these questions are explored in full in Last Night, and as in any truly good movie, there will be no answers, you will have to answer them for yourself.Last Night reminded me of another masterpiece dialogue-driven relationship/betrayal movie – Closer. It's not the same in any way, but they are similar, so if you liked Closer, try this one as well.It's not without fair share of problems. As it's been noted in many places, two story lines are really uneven, and you almost don't care for one of them. But then again, without this contrast, without the dullness of one, you wouldn't be able to feel real emotions in the other. It's also all coming down to the fact, that men are weaker in these situation. I felt sorry for Michael, because I could understand him perfectly well.Acting is also uneven, it's not a match for what we got in Closer. It's still a movie that provokes you, gets to ask questions, gets you thinking, and for all of this it's worth checking out. But don't expect something light and easy.
rsj624 **May Contain Spoilers**Last Night is one of those films that's bound to make enemies of many and friends of few. From a critical perspective it can be considered too nuanced and subtle in it's storytelling approach, lacking much bulk in both story-telling style and character development. But this film doesn't seem to care about pleasing critics, rather, it's most enjoyable when it's thought of as asking us as viewers to recall a time which we have embodied at least one of the films four characters. The husband who wants to cheat for one night, the girl who wants the man she knows she can't have, the wife who wants the man she knows she truly belongs with, and the guy who hopelessly loves the girl that got away. For the most part it's easy to be at least one of these four people, and this chance to relate is perhaps the movies strongest asset aside from a great performance from Keira Knightly, who rarely disappoints, and some beautiful NYC locations. If you go into Last Night expecting it to be 'that movie' everyone overlooked, you'll be let down. But if you treat it as one of those late night quick watches, or a movie to relax with when sick or simply not feeling like doing much, it's an easy and mellow watch.
Fahad Iqbal I am not very fond of romantic movies but this really had impressed me because of the strong characters and their acting made this movie brilliant. Movie has showed a sign of true love, honestly, trust and faith between husband and wife but on the same side, how this love, honesty, faith and trust takes you on the other side of the road, that you cannot even think of as Joanna right said in the movie that "It's funny how you can get up and have absolutely no idea where the day will go". So we don't have any idea what will be coming next but the point the movie has to make is that, don't betray your love either physically or emotionally because you can be happy but can be tempted too.
Asia-egal I can't believe the rating of this movie isn't 10/10!! I absolutely loved this movie and highly recommend it ... For one, I didn't get together with a man I loved and shared a long distance relationship with for 3 years so I could totally relate to Joanna in this film hence why I was so moved i guess.. Sometimes people come in your life unexpectedly and some leave an unforgettable mark whereas others are easily forgotten.. This movie taught me that moving on is possible and yet impossible at the same time, but it's OK! In time, all will be OK... You just got to carry on living.. Smiling... And just taking it one day at a time... Love, faith, patience, distance and passion are all summoned to court in this movie for an honest confession... Anyways, I'll stop rattling on and I sincerely hope this movie gets the recognition and rating it very well deserves!
