New York Daily NewsElizabeth WeitzmanNov 1, 2013
Not much happens in Sandra Nettelbeck’s intimate family drama, but its well-drawn connections between lonely souls make an impact nonetheless. Read full review

The DissolveWilliam GossOct 29, 2013
Last Love hardly presents itself as a challenging picture, tugging as it does at the heartstrings with gentle persistence, but at its best moments, it is a sweetly considered one. Read full review

The A.V. ClubMike D'AngeloOct 30, 2013
Unfortunately, Nettelbeck also strives to make Last Love a genuinely complex drama rooted in recognizable human behavior, and fails utterly in that effort. Read full review

ObserverRex ReedOct 29, 2013
It’s a real pleasure to share some quality time with Mr. Caine as an old man wise enough to know there’s rarely any such thing as a second time around but brave enough to take a chance anyway. But the writing and direction by Sandra Nettelbeck barely support his forceful presence. Read full review

The Hollywood ReporterBoyd van HoeijOct 29, 2013
The main problem of Mr. Morgan’s Last Love is a structural one, as it is really two films in one. Read full review

Time Out LondonCath ClarkeJul 8, 2014
This sentimental Michael Caine drama is so dull that doctors could prescribe it to treat insomnia. What the hell, they could probably use it to medically induce a coma. Read full review

This somber work about the worthiness of living has little life in it. Read full review

Time OutJenna SchererOct 29, 2013
Though there are some small, beautiful moments in Nettelbeck’s drama, Last Love as a whole feels like it’s been dosed with Xanax. Read full review

VarietyScott FoundasOct 29, 2013
Last Love sticks to a flaccid middle ground lacking any real drama or pathos. Read full review

The New York TimesStephen HoldenOct 31, 2013
This dull, dawdling film, adapted from Françoise Dorner’s novel “La Douceur Assassine,” eventually succumbs to sentimentality. Read full review

Village VoiceNick SchagerOct 29, 2013
Scene after scene is defined by blunt exposition and gooey maxims, not to mention cornball visual metaphors. Read full review

The PlaylistKevin JagernauthNov 14, 2013
By time the third act arrives, the film turns harshly toward cliché, convenience and melodrama to disastrous effect. Read full review

RogerEbert.comDan CallahanNov 1, 2013
This is a glacially paced movie, filled with sickly picture postcard imagery that seems designed to put you to sleep. Read full review
