Leave your thoughts about Last Christmas.
| Chicago Sun-TimesRichard RoeperEven on my most Ebenezer of days, I wouldn’t have been able to resist this sentimental journey. |
| Austin ChronicleJosh KupeckiBut you know what? It works. Director Paul Feig is not unfamiliar with traversing these waters of a slap and a tickle. He’ll give you the Christmas cheer and also the realities of life, and it’s helpful that Thompson and Kimmings have razor-sharp instincts when it comes to that short, sharp, shocked brand of British humor that we all love so well. |
| The Film StageDan MeccaClarke has been angling at legit leading lady status ever since she got called Khaleesi, to varying degrees of success. Last Christmas feels like the young actress is in full form. Forget the perceived genre limitations, this is a good performance. Her Kate is cutting, manipulative, charming, broken and funny. All at once! She’s fully human, a refreshing departure from some of her recent roles. |
| ReelViewsJames BerardinelliWith Paul Feig in the director’s chair, this unapologetically sentimental film provides viewers with opportunities to laugh and cry while morphing into something a little different than what the trailers and marketing material suggest. |
| New York Magazine (Vulture)Alison WillmoreSometimes you just have to let yourself be a sucker for the obvious — whether it’s for a holiday movie, a ridiculous romance, or an awkwardly grafted-on but very timely theme. |
| Los Angeles TimesKatie WalshIt’s the performances and well-earned character arcs that make Last Christmas a satisfying holiday flick worth giving your heart to. |
| The A.V. ClubCharles BramescoAs escapist comfort-food cinema goes, this is a stick-to-your-ribs, tryptophan-coma-size helping. |
| The AtlanticDavid SimsWhere the film succeeds, it’s because Feig and Thompson have remembered to mix in a little sour with the sweet. |
| PolygonKaren HanLast Christmas does the job when it comes to creating a pleasant haze of warm feelings, offering a momentary respite from the cold, cynical world outside the movie theater. |
| IGNMatthew DoughertyEmilia Clarke charms in this clichéd, kooky Christmas rom-com. |
