Leave your thoughts about The Last Face.
| AV ClubMike D'AngeloBut that’s nothing compared to the sustained tone-deaf fiasco that is Penn’s latest feature, The Last Face — a movie so monumentally miscalculated, right from its opening explanatory text, that the audience at Cannes, where it (inexplicably) premiered in Competition last year, started laughing at it within the first 30 seconds. All one can really do is gape in wonder and puzzlement. |
| RogerEbert.comSimon AbramsWhile most other films sprint through expository dialogue, and bluster their way through action scenes, The Last Witch Hunter is measured enough to make you want to suspend your disbelief. |
| Village VoiceAlan ScherstuhlThe story works out like you might expect. The joys are in the way director Breck Eisner, like Diesel, is earnest about this goofiness. His direction might not showcase the full wit of the script, but it does honor its inventiveness. |
| Hollywood ReporterDavid Rooney[A] stunningly self-important but numbingly empty cocktail of romance and insulting refugee porn. |
| The PlaylistNikola GrozdanovicIt’s, all told, a preposterous and pretentious mess of a film, and all the good intentions in the world don’t mean anything when the execution is as ham-fisted as it is here. |
| Slant MagazineKenji FujishimaIt has enough ingredients for a reasonably entertaining fantasy adventure—except, that is, for an interesting lead character with an emotionally compelling hook. |
| Blu-ray.comBrian Orndorf"The Last Face" is certainly honorable, but it doesn't work, coming off slightly silly with a bone-chilling subject matter. |
| Cinema em CenaPablo VillaçaAlthough it invests too much time on a corny romance, the film delivers when portraying the brutality of the genocides happening in South Sudan and in Liberia. [Full review in Portuguese.] |
| ColeSmithey.comCole Smithey[CANNES 2016] If ever there was a movie that could make you dislike relief-aid doctors, "The Last Face" is it. |
| The A.V. ClubIgnatiy VishnevetskyIt’s a shame that The Last Witch Hunter ends up crumbling into another generic showdown of murky fantasy effects and snatched artifacts, with a final shot that is literally framed around a door to possible sequels. |
