Profile of Last Night

The mood of Last Night is gloomy, offbeat, and sincere. The plot centers around an apocalypse, disasters, and chaos. It features irreverent humor. Last Night is a drama and comedy movie. Stylistically, it stars an ensemble cast. It takes place, at least partly, in an urban environment. Last Night is set in Canada. The movie is known for being an award winner and critically acclaimed. Note that it includes mild violent content, sexual content, and profanity.

Summary of Last Night

Writer/director/actor Don McKellar's take on the always intriguing "end of the world" concept is a thoughtful, engaging effort that uses dialogue instead of action to discuss this premise intellectually. The inhabitants of a Canadian city quietly accept the news that the world is going to end at the stroke of midnight on New Year's Day, 2000 (wisely, an explanation is never given). Rather than succumb to obscene hysteria, the various assembled characters come to terms with their situations thoughtfully and reasonably. McKellar's film is a pleasant change of pace from Hollywood's barrage of action-packed visions of the apocalypse.

A surreal, elegantly melancholy, and yet witty ensemble story. Full Review

San Francisco Chronicle

Writer and first-time director Don McKellar, also one of the film's stars, makes the plot gimmick an inventive jumping-off point for an exploration of humanity in a state of quiet panic. Full Review

Interesting and thought provoking premise, but slow and extremely sophomoric in it's delivery. Painful at times. You may pass. Read and rate it
