The A.V. ClubSam AdamsFeb 29, 2012
The fact that Last Days Here cares more about Liebling's personal redemption than his professional triumph is ultimately a saving grace, a telling demonstration of the film's well-ordered priorities. Read full review

Los Angeles TimesGary GoldsteinMar 22, 2012
It's the offbeat love story at the heart of Liebling's resurrection that provides the film's most powerful - and touching - surprise. Read full review

Austin ChronicleMarc SavlovApr 18, 2012
As depressing as it may sound on paper, directors Argott and Fenton have crafted a deeply disturbing but equally moving documentary. Read full review

New York PostSara StewartMar 2, 2012
Riddled with sores, his lips locked on a crack pipe, the "sub-basement"-dwelling subject of this cult-rock doc initially seems plucked from an episode of "Intervention," or maybe "Hoarders." Read full review

The New York TimesJeannette CatsoulisMar 1, 2012
Nevertheless the fierce loyalty of Mr. Liebling's nearest and dearest is extremely touching, and Last Days Here - despite its stinginess with back story and early performance footage - works hard to reveal the man beneath the four-decade heroin habit. Read full review

Village VoiceMelissa AndersonFeb 28, 2012

A surprise back-from-the-brink redemption proves reliably engaging in rock-doc Last Days Here, tracking three years in the life of cult musician Bobby Liebling, whose band Pentagram never capitalized on its early promise. Read full review

Slant MagazineBill WeberFeb 29, 2012
Gambling on the unlikely redemption of a doom metal fuck-up, this potential rock-doc tragedy reveals a bromance of idol and idolator. Read full review

Time OutJoshua RothkopfFeb 28, 2012
A middling entry in the growing genre of tragic, never-quite-made-it rocker docs, this doesn't have a bona fide genius at its core (The Devil and Daniel Johnston), nor a compelling clash of Spinal Tap–ready egos (Anvil! The Story of Anvil). Read full review
