Entertainment Weekly
Last Night is on to something fascinating. It meditates on the meaning of adultery: the purposes it serves, beyond sex. - 70
Variety
An aptly gorgeous-looking Manhattan meller whose quartet of sexy actors proves no less attractive than the well-mounted picture as a whole. - 63
Observer
Beautifully shot and reeking with style, Last Night is as slow as sorghum; nothing ever really happens. - 60
The New York Times
Nominally a story about sex, lies and faithfulness, Last Night is more truly a cautionary tale about mousetrap narratives. - 60
New York Daily News
Knightley and Canet make a far more compelling pair. As they wander through the city after hours, doing nothing more than talking, they generate the kind of romantic heat that's all too rare onscreen. - 50
Village Voice
First-time director Massy Tadjedin conjures some essence of constrained desire, but mostly from the architecture. - 50
Los Angeles Times
With true insights in short supply, the on-the-nose material fails to seduce. - 50
New York Post
Suspenseful though it is, the movie is quiet to the point of being sleepy, and Worthington is simply not working out as a screen star.
