In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.

I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

It is interesting even when nothing much happens, which is for most of its 3-hour running time. Read full review

Easily one of the most thought-provoking, quirky, fantastically well-acted movies I've ever seen. And felt honest the whole time. Makes you wonder what is meaningful and what is sacred. All in an environment that appears to have no inherent meaning. Unique, for me, in it's approach to romance, which electrifies the film throughout. Takes one from wondering if it's a zombie apocalypse film to wondering about the essence of meaning. I'd die a happy man if I thought films like this were being made every day.

I really had a problem watching "Last Night" because of the lack of an explanation on how the world is ending.I mean, the whole movie is about how people would react to the end of life on earth.I have read many posts on possible scientific scenarios on how it could happen, but none of them make any sense in the context of the movie. So,once you rule out any kind of scientific explanation, the only thing left is divine intervention.(The Rapture) Especially since at the end of the movie everybody is gone (No bodies even) but the buildings and everything else are still standing. Of course, I'm sure God isn't going to give us a head's up on when the Rapture is coming (down to the exact time) So, if it's the Rapture, why isn't everybody celebrating? You're going to a better place!All I know is that I would probably react quite differently to one scenario where we all die by a comet, gamma burst, rogue planet, etc. as compared to one where we all come into the Lord's grace.

Don McKellar directs/wrote/stars in one small movie that asks us... what is REALLY important? The world is about to end (how is irrelevant) and we follow a (seemingly) random bunch of people as they fill their last hours.On one level they all want to make dreams/desires/fantasies they've held onto happen. Our main character, Patrick Wheeler is caught between fulfilling his parents plans and his own.I don't want to give too much of this simple, beautiful and heartfelt movie away, but I think it boils down to a question of opening ourselves up - to be less alone - and to let love in. I think that one thing Mr. McKellar is trying to say is that the power of love - true love (NOT lust) will get us through - no matter what the obstacle.I've seen this movie several times, and am the last person to be swayed by big Hollywood films that try to "steer" you to "feel" for their characters. Last Night is NOT an action picture. It moves slowly, and builds to an ending that never fails to bring some tears to my eyes. I hope you enjoy it is much as I do.

I'm not really sure what they were trying to do here. The script is not very realistic and at times is so nonsensical that you're not sure if they are trying to do a comedy, or a tongue-in-cheek comedy. It is hard to take this movie seriously and yet they tried so hard to make it seem serious. What could be more serious than the world about to end in a few hours? Everybody knows it, and yet people are still going to work? A guy is giving out program notes at a piano concert for an unknown musician? You get the impression right away that this is a low budget feature. I was hoping a decent script would compensate. I turned this one off about 1 hour in and came back the next day to try again. No improvement. Solid pass.
