Chris Vognar, Dallas Morning News: Balances gritty naturalism and compelling drama. Read more
A.O. Scott, New York Times: Last Resort shares with movies like Lynne Ramsay's Ratcatcher and Emmanuel Finkiel's Voyages a simultaneous commitment to truth-telling and formal exploration. Read more
Kenneth Turan, Los Angeles Times: This is the best class of poetic realism, the kind you can believe in without a trace of hesitation. Read more
Eric Harrison, Houston Chronicle: Dramatically low-key, Last Resort is beautifully acted, with striking realism. Read more
Steven Rosen, Denver Post: Has a broodingly beautiful aesthetic sensibility. Read more
Owen Gleiberman, Entertainment Weekly: Moving and eerily beautiful. Read more
Peter Rainer, New York Magazine/Vulture: One of the few films to get at the ways in which single mothers and their sons alternate being authority figures. Read more

Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times: You walk out of the theater curiously touched. Read more
