What are critics saying?
For implausibility, perversity, cluelessness, and sheer silliness, it’s hard to imagine another movie this year that will top Last Words.
The New York Times by Glenn Kenny
The movie’s depiction of age — specifically, age as it affects movie stars — has real potency. This extends beyond its ostensible message, delivered by Kal: “We live and die by the stories we tell each other.” The stronger statement Last Words ends up making is that we die no matter what.
It’s an indulgent downer, not utterly incoherent but a grim journey from hopelessness to pointlessness.
