Best movie of this year hands down!

Plenty to Like, Plenty to Dislike

There are better movies of two hours length. I loved the actress'performance.

The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

Last Night is currently available on the free section of Amazon Prime Video. This type of movie is not usually something that i would watch, but could not find anything decent and this flick looked halfway promising.This is actually an unusual movie, iv'e seen a lot of romantic drama genres and they've all been clichéd and 100% boring. Last Night is different, it isn't a great film, but it isn't awful. The story does not really go anywhere, we see two main characters throw themselves in temptations' way. The writing, editing and directing is decent at times, they do a good job of making things ambiguous for a while, you can't tell as a first time viewer what will happen/where this film will take you.Last Night is an emotional flick, it presents some harsh truths of life, but the bottom line is life is all about choices.There is something slightly compelling about this movie, but overall it's only worth watching if you feel like a movie and can't find anything better to watch.

I've picked this up out of boredom, wanted something simple and easy, fully expecting a generic dramedy with cliché characters. What I got was something entirely different.There are not too many films that try to explore the topic of betrayal in a relationship in its full. Yes, obviously it's one one of most common tropes in any kind of medium, but usually it's really one-sided. But true exploration of betrayal touches both sides, tries to uncover reasons, motivation behind it all, and, what's especially difficult, what do to after the fact.Last Night is surprisingly deep. We see people who are in love, who are confused, who have to deal with temptation, make a decision.Is it possible to love two people at the same time? What's worse, physical betrayal or emotional one? If something is true and pure, is it worth flushing everything else you have in your life down the toilet and pursuing this chance of happiness?All these questions are explored in full in Last Night, and as in any truly good movie, there will be no answers, you will have to answer them for yourself.Last Night reminded me of another masterpiece dialogue-driven relationship/betrayal movie – Closer. It's not the same in any way, but they are similar, so if you liked Closer, try this one as well.It's not without fair share of problems. As it's been noted in many places, two story lines are really uneven, and you almost don't care for one of them. But then again, without this contrast, without the dullness of one, you wouldn't be able to feel real emotions in the other. It's also all coming down to the fact, that men are weaker in these situation. I felt sorry for Michael, because I could understand him perfectly well.Acting is also uneven, it's not a match for what we got in Closer. It's still a movie that provokes you, gets to ask questions, gets you thinking, and for all of this it's worth checking out. But don't expect something light and easy.

I can't believe the rating of this movie isn't 10/10!! I absolutely loved this movie and highly recommend it ... For one, I didn't get together with a man I loved and shared a long distance relationship with for 3 years so I could totally relate to Joanna in this film hence why I was so moved i guess.. Sometimes people come in your life unexpectedly and some leave an unforgettable mark whereas others are easily forgotten.. This movie taught me that moving on is possible and yet impossible at the same time, but it's OK! In time, all will be OK... You just got to carry on living.. Smiling... And just taking it one day at a time... Love, faith, patience, distance and passion are all summoned to court in this movie for an honest confession... Anyways, I'll stop rattling on and I sincerely hope this movie gets the recognition and rating it very well deserves!

An attractive young couple in Manhattan is preparing for a party at a business acquaintance of the husband's. Joanna senses an attraction Michael seems to have for a gorgeous co-worker. As they return home, a full confrontation ensues. Joanna feels Michel must have had a fling with Laura the last time both traveled to the West Coast for a business presentation, something he vehemently denies. Joanna gives him the benefit of the doubt as they eventually make up. In a way, Joanna compounds on the problem for whatever Michael has felt for Laura.Massy Tadjedin, the talented director of "Last Night", obviously knows the people she is presenting in this intimate tale about human relations at a crucial moment in their young lives,. To complicate the situation, Alex, the former French lover of Joanna shows suddenly on the scene. Michael, out of town with a team that includes Laura, suddenly feels the loss of self-control. Joanna, suddenly, finds herself falling in the same situation she accused Michael of doing. Obviously, her love for Alex is still alive.Ms. Tadjedin clearly understand what make these somewhat successful people become trapped in the situations they get involved in our modern times, where loyalty to one's married partner is taken for granted in our permissive society, where satisfaction to one's senses is dealt lightly, not taking in consideration of the hurt is causing on the other one. An inspired casting of Keira Knightly is one of the reasons for watching this film. Ms. Knightly is at a good moment in her career. Her intelligent approach to her Joanna resonates with the viewer. Same could be said of the Michael of Sam Worthington, a handsome and virile presence in the movie. Michael has lots of doubts, feeling guilty in the step he is going to take. Guillaume Canet, the talented French actor-director, seems to be a bit uncomfortable with his Alex. Gorgeous Eva Mendes, not usually seen in dramatic roles, is a revelation as Laura.Peter Deming, the director of photography, catches the somber night lights of the Manhattan where the story is set. Clint Mansell music scores creates a layer of texture in the film. One can only hope for future ventures of Massi Tadjedin.
