Film Threat
The comedic drama is insightful, touching, and relatable, permitting viewers the ability to resonate with its every line, moment, and character. - 63
Movie Nation
Contrived as it often seems, The Last Right is just unpredictable enough to pass muster, just cute enough to charm and just romantic enough to get by. - 60
The Guardian
Crehan knits it together like a well-worn onesie: you know exactly what shape it’s going to be once you’re wrapped up in it, but that doesn’t mean it lacks for comfort and warmth. - 60
The Irish Times
All this might be unbearable were it not for some lovely performances and, despite the familiar tropes, a commitment to treat Louis and his condition with respect.
