Last Night
a DON MCKELLAR picture
Synopsis
Panic, confusion and outright denial were the initial reactions when the news of the end of the world was announced two months go. Terror has since become acceptance. People now struggle through the petty details and minor complications of life in an effort to arrange the perfect ending. On this last night of the world as we know it, a few crucial questions are all that’s left: where are you going to be at hour zero? What will you do? And who will you do it with?
Trailer
Press
"A witty, trenchant script and a actors who turn human frailty into something nearly sublime."
THE VILLAGE VOICE
"An emotionally resonant story…”Last Night” has struck out with a theatrical life all its own."
INDIEWIRE
"A witty, sophisticated and suspenseful puzzler, the film combines, and cleverly parodies, a number of styles and genres to fascinating effect."
THE RADIO TIMES
"It’s a witty, perceptive movie, exceptionally well structured by writer/director McKellar, with a keen feeling for detail, a nice line in the unexpected and a strong sense of the wider context. Absorbing, insightful and suspenseful from start to finish."
TIME OUT
"A smart, stiff-upper-lip alternative…intense performances of Ms. Oh, whose face and body seem pinched with an acute, aching anxiety, and of Mr. McKellar, who almost visibly shrinks into the cocoon of Patrick’s despair."
