The Last Five Years Ratings & Reviews
The Atlantic
Sophie Gilbert
The unbalanced nature of the adaptation makes for a basically unsatisfying experience (Jamie, a jerk, gets his way with everything, and Cathy, a sweetheart, doesn't), but there are moments of real delight in the movie ...
Vox
Emily St. James
LaGravenese doesn't seem to have a particular vision for how to shoot or tell this particular story, so he just aims for the most straightforward method possible most of the time, and that ultimately cripples the film in ways it can't recover from.
Chicago Sun-Times
Richard Roeper
It doesn't help that the songs, while solid, become repetitive in melody. And there's not a home run in the bunch. I walked out humming ... nothing from this movie.
Grantland
Wesley Morris
It's bland, earnest, and receptive, and in order to capture it, the director Richard LaGravenese thinks he needs more crane shots than Citizen Kane.
San Diego Reader
Matthew Lickona
Star Anna Kendrick's appeal is stretched to its limit here, and her lover Jeremy Jordan's character is hard to take in large doses.
Austin Chronicle
Marjorie Baumgarten
LaGravenese should be commended for his vision and tenacity, which has helped to create a piece that should be catnip to fans of the modern musical theatre -- and in these post-Glee days, who isn't?
Chicago Reader
Ben Sachs
Kendrick and Jordan seem too squeaky-clean to convey the full weight of the characters' psychological baggage, yet LaGravenese's balanced, unpretentious direction allows the material to resonate all the same.
Boston Globe
Ty Burr
Jordan comes out of this movie respectably, while Kendrick comes out of it a star. In fact, she's potentially the first great movie musical star of her generation.
Washington Post
Stephanie Merry
A very funny, deeply affecting portrait of love lost and found.
Chicago Tribune
Michael Phillips
As far as I'm concerned, Anna Kendrick can make a musical twice annually for the next few decades.
New York Magazine/Vulture
Jesse Green
How delicious that one of the best movie musicals in years -- and one of the best musical adaptations ever -- concedes that the job is almost too tough to do.
Us Weekly
Mara Reinstein
Detailing the ups and downs of romance, Kendrick and Jordan enchant on screen.
Linoleum Knife
Alonso Duralde
Moving and bittersweet, with great songs performed by two very skilled performers.
NPR
Bob Mondello
Kendrick qualifies as the movie's secret weapon - actually not so secret now that she's charmed audiences in both 'Into the Woods' and 'Pitch Perfect.'
New York Magazine/Vulture
David Edelstein
The camera moves with heightened sensitivity, as if on currents of emotion, and Kendrick is infinitely winning. She's that rare thing, a movie star with a trained soprano.
RogerEbert.com
Susan Wloszczyna
Even though there are relatable hurtful truths found in this uncompromising pair, there isn't enough specialness in the characters or their story to make us feel for them.
New York Times
Stephen Holden
Songs that tell their story from both their points of view are among the smartest show tunes this side of Stephen Sondheim.
Los Angeles Times
Betsy Sharkey
If you're not going to break out of the box when you move mediums with a musical, it is critical to use the box very, very well. Unfortunately, "The Last Five Years" does neither.
Associated Press
Jocelyn Noveck
Don't be surprised if, settling into "The Last Five Years" with your popcorn, you hear a large number of people around you singing rather than crunching.
TheWrap
Inkoo Kang
"The film is the least enjoyable among [Kendrick's musical] efforts, its considerable ambitions undermined by charmless songs and a frustratingly cursory love story."
