- 70Film ThreatFilm ThreatSeek out Last Words if you have an interest in the fall and decline of humankind. It is one of the more stark and striking versions of the end of the species these eyes have born witness to.
- 60The New York TimesGlenn KennyThe New York TimesGlenn KennyThe movie’s depiction of age — specifically, age as it affects movie stars — has real potency. This extends beyond its ostensible message, delivered by Kal: “We live and die by the stories we tell each other.” The stronger statement Last Words ends up making is that we die no matter what.

- 38Movie NationRoger MooreMovie NationRoger MooreIt’s an indulgent downer, not utterly incoherent but a grim journey from hopelessness to pointlessness.
