Movie Reviews

Arkansas Democrat-Gazette - 9/10 by Philip MartinWhile it's tempting to dismiss the project as a cutesy cookie-cutter showcase designed to capitalize on the good will of a grand star, MacLaine is brilliant, even when the material isn't quite worthy of her. Or her director.
Times-Picayune - 9/10 by Mike ScottIf nothing else, the dramatic comedy The Last Word provides one thing: It gives Shirley MacLaine a great role in which to sink her teeth. That turns out to be a gift not only to the Hollywood veteran but to audiences as well.
Detroit News - 9/10 by Adam GrahamEven when surrounded by junk, the 83-year-old MacLaine still has plenty of pep. She's a treasure, but "The Last Word" doesn't do her or her legacy justice.
The Film Stage - 9/10 by John FinkBeat by beat, though, Lauler (played by the stellar Shirley MacLaine) “evolves” in Mark Pellington’s predictable dramedy The Last Word. Cinematic comfort food comes to mind, and rest assured, mom and grandma will probably have a nice time.
Boston Herald - 9/10 by James VerniereMacLaine and Seyfried a fun match in female mismatched buddy comedy.
AV Club - 9/10 by Ignatiy VishnevetskyPellington, a music video veteran who was once known for inconsistent-but-diverting thrillers like The Mothman Prophecies and Arlington Road, doesn’t show much interest in making either of movie’s central relationships work, leaning on the brittle, snappy MacLaine to carry almost every scene.
Paste Magazine - 9/10 by Jim HemphillIn Fink's script for The Last Word, Pellington finds the right vehicle to explore his preoccupations through a new lens, and addressing the issues through female characters has reinvigorated his technique.
TheWrap - 9/10 by Alonso DuraldeIf nothing else, The Last Word demonstrates that Shirley MacLaine still has the comic chops and screen presence that have made her a Hollywood legend.
One Guy's Opinion - 8/10 by Frank SwietekA sappy geriatric comedy that starts amusingly brittle but quickly goes soft, it's a showcase for MacLaine, but not a happy one.
Chicago Daily Herald - 8/10 by Dann GireNothing happens here we don't see coming. Still, MacLaine makes it work well on arrival.
