Leave your thoughts about Last Weekend.
| Movie MezzanineDan SchindelIt's like Arrested Development without the irony. |
| San Francisco ChronicleMick LaSalleAside from Patricia Clarkson, who is practically this movie's reason for being, the great virtue of Last Weekend is that it's exactly as it presents itself. |
| Movie DearestFr. Chris CarpenterLovely. Features an award-worthy performance by the never-disappointing Patricia Clarkson that fully utilizes her sensitivity, comic timing and other distinctive acting gifts. |
| Seventh RowAlex HeeneySo much great acting is wasted on this pointless film about the woes of the very rich. |
| Common Sense MediaTracy MooreIndie drama about family dysfunction has mature themes. |
| The Hollywood ReporterDavid RooneyRestrained and elegant to a fault, this first feature from co-directors Tom Dolby and Tom Williams is too muted in its catharsis and too overcrowded with superfluous characters to be fully satisfying, but the delicate central performance keeps it watchable. |
| Chicago ReaderBen SachsThis tepid indie comedy lacks a consistent tone; directors Tom Dolby and Tom Williams can't decide whether to satirize or sympathize with their wealthy, self-regarding characters. |
| VarietyDennis HarveyIts eventual reach for warm-and-fuzzy emotional catharsis rings hollow among characters that never become more than disagreeably shallow products of unexamined privilege. |
| Seattle TimesMoira MacDonaldA flat drama filmed at a house that's more interesting than most of the characters. |
| Arizona RepublicRandy CordovaThe characters flutter about, argue and flirt, but they are simply too bland and vacuous to make much of an impression. It doesn't help that half of them serve no purpose other than to fill the camera frame. |
