mihaelcheto The movie is one of the greatest I've ever watched because of the closeness to the reality. All the feelings the actors are recreating could happen to anyone and why always it should be with happy ending? It touches so deeply the mind (as many reviewers already described very well) that you cannot not start asking yourself questions; and probably even recognize yourself in a particular role. It goes down to think about: what's the real betrayal? Is it the attraction, the one night sex without feelings or the platonic relationship with your soulmate. Could be both.. But choosing the "right thing" for the society and for the partner, is it always the right thing for you? If not, aren't you cheating to yourself? These are questions which I believe, will never get the right answers for all of us. It's always about the choices we make and if we are able to live with the consequences of them
madelenerogers Now that this movie has made its way to Netflix, I thought it might see a revived interest here on IMDb, so I wanted to get my two cents in. When I first turned this movie on, I didn't have the highest of hopes for it. Then, as I began watching I found the realities not only of the movie's plot, but in the characters. A previous reviewer mentioned that the acting was good besides Worthington's "wooden" performance. I disagree about that characterization of his acting. I choose (if naively) to believe that he really understood Michael's position; Defending himself to his wife, when he truly had done nothing wrong, being nervous while confronting obvious sexual advances from a beautiful co-worker, and coming to terms with his ultimate decision. All-in-all, the characters/actors were the highlight of the film. The score was a close second. After the first 15 minutes of the film, I was connected to the characters, and I had developed my theory of how this movie would buck all the trends and stereotypes of cheating. SPOILER: it doesn't. I was dead set that it would be Joanna and her star crossed French lover that would do the deed, but I was ultimately foiled by the screenwriter. Good guy Michael just could not resist lovely Laura's constant advances. I think this is where the movie may have faltered. For every movie that it's the woman who cheats on her husband, there must be 100 movies in which the husband plays the betrayer. It seems that Hollywood too often forgets that women cheat too. There is nothing necessarily wrong with this movie's plot, I simply got my hopes up too high that it was going to give me an unpredictable finish. To "Last Night"'s credit, that seems to be most movies in the modern era. Despite my lukewarm reception of the plot, I thought the acting was quite good from two male actors I wasn't totally familiar with and two female actresses I've never particularly cared for. Keira Knightley in particular deftly captured, and brought to life, the internal struggle of a woman fighting her most base desires out of (unfortunately misplaced) loyalty to her husband. You could see the indecision in her body language and in every sideways glance. Overall, the movie was much better than I expected a 90 minute movie that I'd never heard of (and I do try to keep up with the movie scene) to be. I only wish it had attempted to push the envelope a bit further.
Fahad Iqbal I am not very fond of romantic movies but this really had impressed me because of the strong characters and their acting made this movie brilliant. Movie has showed a sign of true love, honestly, trust and faith between husband and wife but on the same side, how this love, honesty, faith and trust takes you on the other side of the road, that you cannot even think of as Joanna right said in the movie that "It's funny how you can get up and have absolutely no idea where the day will go". So we don't have any idea what will be coming next but the point the movie has to make is that, don't betray your love either physically or emotionally because you can be happy but can be tempted too.
Radoslav Ivanov I saw this with a friend I had not seen in years, so i was "prepared" to like it. However, unfortunately, I came out of the cinema disappointed. Surprisingly(considering "The Jacket"), the problems were more in the writing than the execution.It is safe, hinging on stereotypes and typecasting. I guess, most of the time we can't expect anything more from a directorial debut.Simply put, we have a film about infidelity - physical vs emotional. Within this frame we have two separate stories as allegories for each type, each involving one piece of a married couple we observe for 2 successive nights. It started by an encouraging "shared" parallel recollection of an evening that potentially could have been the "last night", if Massy was bolder and more willing to explore nonlinear narrative. Instead, we see the "last night" on the following day when the parallel narration starts to rely on contrast. This could have worked a little better if not for the fact that the adultery had no life or chemistry....such an oxymoron.The incongruity continues at the end when Keira is committing to a statement while Massy is not. Out of control.It could have been different if Sam's character went to LA, instead of Philly, on the morning after the "last night."2/5 - Safe
