Movie Reviews

New York Times - 9/10 by Manohla DargisAlthough its black-and-white visuals catch the eye, The Last Sentence soon loosens its hold on your attention by flooding the story with mind-numbing, uninteresting details while real history slips through the cracks.
Los Angeles Times - 9/10 by Kenneth TuranMeasured and beautifully modulated, the 82-year-old director has the kind of sureness and fluidity that is easy to underestimate. But it's difficult not to be impressed by the results.
rec.arts.movies.reviews - 8/10 by Louis ProyectA decidedly noncommercial film about the courage of a newspaperman who was a real contrast to the inside-the-beltway hacks of today, anxious to justify every war that comes along.
Orange County Register - 8/10 by Michael SragowA master psychological filmmaker, Jan Troell, puts a towering anti-Nazi crusader under his microscope in the urgently compelling biopic The Last Sentence.
Compuserve - 8/10 by Harvey S. KartenA respectful dramatization of a turning point in modern Swedish history, as a newspaper editor risks plunging his country into war over columns trashing the Nazis.
Christian Science Monitor - 8/10 by Peter RainerIt’s a big movie, but in an emotional, not a historical, sense. Oftentimes it has the hushness of a chamber drama even when the world is its stage.
San Francisco Chronicle - 7/10 by G. Allen JohnsonAmazingly, Troell still operates his own camera. "The Last Sentence" was made digitally, and his attention to detail is remarkable.
Movie Dearest - 7/10 by Fr. Chris CarpenterAn unusually balanced, seemingly unbiased biopic. The cast can't be faulted in any way.
Nerdist - 7/10 by Witney SeiboldUltimately, The Last Sentence, despite the great performances and awesome visuals, gets too preoccupied with its own interpersonal drama and soap opera dynamics, eventually forgetting to address some of the bigger moral implications it hints at.
Oregonian - 6/10 by Marc MohanChristensen, who played the James Bond villain Mr. White in "Casino Royale" and "Quantum of Solace," cuts a striking, white-haired figure as Segerstedt, whose principled tirades against Hitler ultimately earn him the enmity of his prime minster and even his king.
