The Last Sentence Ratings & Reviews
Chicago Reader
J. R. Jones
Unfortunately, Troell chose to shoot the movie in digital black-and-white; the imagery seems anachronistic in its precision, undermining the period decor and clashing with the occasional low-grain newsreel footage of Nazis on the march.
Chicago Sun-Times
Bill Stamets
Troell invokes '50's and '60's Swedish cinema: masterly black-and-white cinematography, philosophical angst, a lifeless marriage and loved ones visiting from the afterlife.
Chicago Daily Herald
Dann Gire
This well-intentioned tale never breaks free from a dry and visually anemic history lesson that could easily be adapted into a monotonous stage play.
Oregonian
Marc Mohan
With "The Last Sentence," veteran Swedish director Jan Troell serves up a well-mannered biography of a man known for anything but his restraint.
Washington Post
Michael O'Sullivan
It's a thoughtful and workmanlike portrait, but a less than profoundly moving one.
San Francisco Chronicle
G. Allen Johnson
Amazingly, Troell still operates his own camera. "The Last Sentence" was made digitally, and his attention to detail is remarkable.
Film-Forward.com
Nora Lee Mandel
Exposes iconic anti-Nazi Swede's feet of clay-- a tangled personal life. Nuanced character study is a challenge to conventional portraits of heroism and challenging to watch.
Nerdist
Witney Seibold
Ultimately, The Last Sentence, despite the great performances and awesome visuals, gets too preoccupied with its own interpersonal drama and soap opera dynamics, eventually forgetting to address some of the bigger moral implications it hints at.
Christian Science Monitor
Peter Rainer
The great 83-year-old Swedish director Jan Troell specializes in movies about men of great stature in furious conflict with both their countries and themselves.
Movie Dearest
Fr. Chris Carpenter
An unusually balanced, seemingly unbiased biopic. The cast can't be faulted in any way.
Los Angeles Times
Kenneth Turan
A more sophisticated work than it appears about a man whose life was more complicated than the world knew.
RogerEbert.com
Glenn Kenny
A remarkably full-bodied and frank character study that illuminates the old saw about the political being personal in a genuinely unusual way.
New York Times
Manohla Dargis
It's too bad that the movie can't find his pulse and instead delivers a tastefully bland, inert portrait of a man whose personal ugliness it acknowledges without excavating.
NPR
Ella Taylor
A richly detailed portrait of a great man riddled with flaws and undone by adulation.
Wall Street Journal
Joe Morgenstern
It's a must-see for those who have followed Mr. Troell's career, and a should-see for those who can look past its oddities to its cumulative power.
New York Post
Farran Smith Nehme
This is a handsome movie, rich in period detail, but the stately pace slows to a crawl in the second half.
The New Republic
David Thomson
[Troell] is a great and restrained director, seldom extravagant or showy, but trusting of actors, dcor, and a relentless attention to mixed motives.
Village Voice
Calum Marsh
We know what Segerstedt did, and Troell tries to ask why. What he ignores are the implications.
Variety
Dennis Harvey
[The film] offers a potentially intriguing study in high-minded political/moral obstinacy, but feels too claustrophobic -- and, finally, tediously like a one-man window on great events -- to fully come to dramatic life.
Slant Magazine
David Lee Dallas
Though ambitiously busy, the film is also self-sabotaging and stagnant, showcasing its main character's struggles without interpreting them into a cohesive thesis.
