'Last Night' is an empty exercise in sheer self-regard, a tedious, lifeless trawl through the secret lives of the rich and beautiful.

Tom Huddleston, Time Out
Rotten

Forget about sex or adultery -- there isn't enough life in Last Night.

Stephen Cole, Globe and Mail
Fresh

Tadjedin banks on the power of telling, familiar moments, betting that viewers will recognize the heartache at the center of a fleeting expression or hurried action. For the most part, her gamble pays off.

Stephanie Merry, Washington Post
Rotten

It's the sort of movie that thinks cutting between two different stories makes it art. Usually, it feels like an exercise in art. There's a lot of calisthenics but very little beauty or truth or whatever it is the movie is going for.

Wesley Morris, Boston Globe
Rotten

Will Michael succumb and prove Joanna correct in her suspicions? Will Alex's French accent conquer all? Do you care? I didn't.

Peter Rainer, Christian Science Monitor
