The Last Word

So-so. Was initially interesting but drifts from a point and fizzles out. Could have been profound, but ultimately wasn't.

Good to see Winona Ryder, in a rare decent 2000s role for her (good to see Winona Ryder, full stop). Solid performance from her. Wes Bentley is a bit irritating in his role, but maybe it is because the longer the movie went on, the more I disliked his character.

This movie is phenomenal.The script is well written and the characters have portrayed themselves very well. Its about a writer who writes the suicide notes. He never tries to forbid his clients from going ahead with their suicides. That's also strange.

Ray's character is great. He does some unusually strange things.Scaring the baby and the concept of venting you anger on inanimate objects were very original and idiosyncratic.

You will love this movie if you ever had setbacks in your life. Its a different take on life and the thinking of various people. Things we think of but never verbalize in public.

I watched this movie because I've always appreciated Shirley McClain's work. But it was disappointing. Besides being predictable, it was gratuitously silly much of the time.

And the use of an eight year-old actor repeatedly discussing and explaining the word "F*ck"and "F*ck Bomb" was disturbing. I'm no prude, but I kept wondering why her parents allowed her to be in that role.

I kept thinking that Shirley McClaine certainly didn't need money so I have to wonder why she did this movie. One impressive thing about this movie is that Shirley McClaine was in her mid 80s when she performed in this movie. Now that's impressive.

A quite refreshing to see romantic drama film.

Although i'm not sure, maybe its a Hollywood thing where you can plan your suicide for weeks or months in advance but statistically in the rest of the world suicide is mostly a spur of the moment decision, that part was always in the back of my mind whilst watching, so it did derail the story a little for me during the film.

Regardless it was still a decent watch, some good acting, but overall the characters didn't really capture your love or affection to warrant getting too involved in the film

Worth a watch, but the rewatch factor is pretty low.

Comedy? No, folks, there are no laughs here. Great ending? Hah! The bit of relief at the end weighs like a feather compared to the darkness of the movie as a whole. This is a drama, a dark one, with suicide and love deceived and betrayed constantly in the background, yet the plot is compelling, and love tries to wriggle its way to the surface amid the human refuse. An excellent script, particularly if this is the writer's first. Strong, touching performances by Wes Bentley, Winona Ryder and Ray Romano. Don't see it when you're looking for some light entertainment for the evening. But when you're ready for something serious and something that might stick in your mind, see it then. There won't be many movies of its quality this year.
