Last Night

A particularly Canadian look at how we'd spend our last few hours on earth. Quite thought provoking and moving.

Seeking a Canadian for the End of the World.

A pre-apocalyptic film that reveals that some humans are so awkward when time and consequences become condensed. There's an incredible sense of droning dread, but unlike other apocalyptic films (pre or post), this isn't entirely gloomy and some of the tension is wonderfully assuaged by humour. An awesome conceit for a movie awesomely performed.

Top badass moment? To be honest it's most of the major characters most of the time; (with the possible exception of Craig Zwiller and his questionable 'wish list'.) They're surprisingly restrained under the circumstances. Keeping a stiff upper lip when the world's about to be entirely destroyed is 100% bassass. No cats, chainsaws or decapitations.

There's something very touching about this movie. I don't know what I'd be doing, if we were to meet our end all together. No, I do. I'd go to her and tell her I love her.

A depressing movie with interesting characters and a predictable but necessary ending. It's kind of an art piece about life and loneliness, about extremes that never fit in society and finally find their place now that the world is about to end.

Good character piece. Some stories are more interesting than others, of course. I particularly loved David Cronenberg's little tale.

You really shouldn't watch it if you're feeling lonely.

For the most part, there is a light enough touch to go along with quality characterizations.

As cold as an Ontario winter some might say

A lonely, lonely film.

The film wisely avoids specifying why the world is ending (we only really know that everyone has known for months and there's no longer any night) focusing instead on how the events highlight people's deepest values. There's some rioting and horseplay, but in the Canadian vision of the apocalypse, people try to live normally and work in a few things that really mean a lot to them.

An enjoyable end of the world film that uses the premise to explore various aspects of the human psyche with a light touch. The performances could be a bit better, but they do the job and the writing does most of the heavy lifting with its mix of humanity and light humour.

This is an interesting character piece. Some of the character work better than others in this film. Some of the actions of the characters seem unrealistic. Overall this is a good independent film.

What would you do on the last day on earth if you knew the exact time it would end? Pretty interesting and it's not that negative. The ending gave me chills, the good ones

This little gem proves us that a movie doesn't have to have a high budget or flashy special effects to create an end-of-the-world atmosphere. It's an easy to watch sophisticated movie that I recommend.

Watch Don McKellar masturbate, cry. Pete Seeger readies his axe.

Too often veers into amateurish high concept TV movie territory (the score is particularly awful), and it has about two subplots too many, but the majority of it works, and when it does, it's powerful. By virtue of its premise it made me consider questions no other movie ever has. I started unimpressed, but it crept up on me, and the final minutes had me totally overwhelmed. Almost all of the performances are good to outstanding; only poor David Cronenberg betrays that he's certainly no actor.

A Canadian spot the cameos sort of movie. About the end of the world. Real Sensiblelike.

Dull as dishwater.

Certainly an interesting film but not particularly amazing. There are some very funny and touching parts that add up to a movie with few weak points but nothing that impacts the overall experience.

+ recommended :: I really liked the premise and I didn't really even mind the fact that they never explained why things were the way they were or how all the characters knew about it.
