Leave your thoughts about Last Resort.
| Baltimore SunChris KaltenbachThanks to the wonderful performances from both Korzun and Considine, there isn't a forced or dishonest moment on-screen. |
| Chicago TribuneLoren KingA film that celebrates simple human kindness. If the ending feels somewhat unsatisfying, it is perhaps because one hates to see this too-brief film end at all. |
| Mr. ShowbizMichael AtkinsonMaddin's movie is, frame for frame, the densest and most spectacular (albeit cardboard-cheap) film playing anywhere. |
| Los Angeles TimesKenneth TuranThis is the best class of poetic realism, the kind you can believe in without a trace of hesitation. |
| New York Daily NewsJack MathewsA slice of life in the most profound sense. |
| Philadelphia InquirerSteven ReaQuiet, finely etched and beautifully acted by Dina Korzun and the wise-beyond-his-years Artiom Strelnikov. |
| Seattle Post-IntelligencerWilliam ArnoldThe new movie year's poignant love story to beat. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertI like the way Last Resort ends, how it concludes its emotional journey without pretending the underlying story is over. You walk out of the theater curiously touched. |
| Film.comErnest HardyIt's a sweet and wise film - neither groundbreaking nor revolutionary save for the fact that it places narrative and character arc at the center of its concerns. |
| New York Magazine (Vulture)Peter RainerUnsatisfying at a very high level. It fritters away more than most movies ever offer up. |
