For all its wry humor, it concludes as a heart-piercing affirmation of life and love in the face of death.

Steve Murray, Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Rotten

McKellar is a good storyteller, and he demonstrates a clever -- albeit dark -- sense of humor. But much of it goes for naught because of the movie's sterile patina.

Jeff Strickler, Minneapolis Star Tribune

Last Night succeeds where so many other films have failed because it concentrates on the element that its predecessors have ignored: the human factor.

James Berardinelli, ReelViews

Bare-bones filmmaking, Last Night is nothing special to look at, but it has a witty, trenchant script, lots of complicated characters, and a few actors who turn human frailty into something nearly sublime.

Amy Taubin, Village Voice
Fresh

A wry treat.

Peter Stack, San Francisco Chronicle
