Last Days manages to be thoroughly disquieting without overtly judging its subject. Read full review

The Hollywood ReporterFrank ScheckJan 31, 2025
Many viewers will no doubt feel initially disdainful of John’s recklessly dangerous pursuits, but the film presents his inner struggles so empathetically that by the end all you feel is sadness for a life tragically lost. Read full review

The PlaylistMarshall ShafferJan 31, 2025
The film has no answers because Lin plays it more like a heist film—where the bounty is the purity of the unexposed North Sentinelese—than a sincere human drama about faith and identity. Lin entertains as a result but struggles to enlighten. Read full review

Screen DailyAmber WilkinsonJan 31, 2025
While director Justin Lin’s thriller-inflected approach is periodically absorbing, the scattered structure and episodic nature of the plot works against him as it slides towards an overly sentimental conclusion. Read full review

Slant MagazineChris BarsantiFeb 1, 2025
Instead of delving into what lay behind John Allen Chau’s recklessness, the film scatters itself across multiple plot angles that confuse more than clarify. Read full review

ColliderTherese LacsonFeb 5, 2025
It's hard to find any redeeming qualities in Last Days. Its pacing and multiple storylines, not to mention jumping back and forth in time, only work to make the viewer disoriented when it comes to bonding with a character who already does not feel that sympathetic. Read full review

TheWrapChase HutchinsonJan 31, 2025
Last Days is a film that is so contrived, superficial and misconceived, it does a disservice to the story with every choice it makes. Read full review
