Mjeteconer Just perfect...

Console best movie i've ever seen.

Huievest Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.

Adeel Hail Unshakable, witty and deeply felt, the film will be paying emotional dividends for a long, long time.

Robert W. My Dad told me about this movie. He had caught it on Television on one night and it took me some time but I tracked it down because I do enjoy post-apocalyptic films and rarely see anything Canadian that stands out in my opinion but I was absolutely pleasantly surprised by this Canadian gem. It doesn't make itself explicitly clear that its Canadian but it doesn't need to because that's not what its about. The film is about a group of people preparing for the end of the world. Its moving, its well acted, and it has a terrific pace. It leaves you with an endless amount of questions but it has to because that's the nature of the film.Don McKellar leads the cast, not only as the star but also directs and wrote the film and does a terrific award worthy job as quiet and strong Patrick Wheeler. The film follows him for the most part almost exclusively throughout different circumstances and you become attached to his character. Sandra Oh is fantastic as Sandra. She has a lot of emotion and strength and her and McKellar have great chemistry opposite each other. The film really does focus on the two of them and it carries the film throughout but it would be a crime to not mention the supporting cast who are all excellent in their small roles. Sarah Polley, David Cronenberg, Roberta Maxwell, and Robin Gammell stand out in great small roles in the film. Also Callum Keith Rennie gives a really great performance as the best friend to McKellar who spends his last hours trying to fulfill his every sexual wish.The film is light on special effects because the story is about how this group of people are each handling the inevitable end of the world. You will wonder throughout the film whether this is actually going to happen, and you will wonder what caused this apocalypse but ultimately none of that matters because you are watching how each of those people deal with the end of the world. It is unique in the fact that it isn't about the event that is happening but rather the people involved. It is riveting, heart wrenching, captivating and truly worth seeing!! A Canadian gem that few know about but everyone should see!! 8.5/10

widescreenguy where else ya gonna find a flic like this but the library? The acting ranged from 'what was that about' to spot on given the premise. Sandra Oh was very good throughout. The film is full of cameos with a mention of Canadian landmark Nathan Philips Square.What finally brought the end isn't stated but clearly it was a supernova. Why it had to happen a precisely midnight is a goof in the storyline. But then, maybe all the clocks were adjusted to make the end symbolically happen at the end of the last day. Did anybody think of that? If you're looking for dazzling special effects (none of that), a lot of shooting and guns (only a bit of that) and gratuitous sex (none of that, the sex was well within keeping with the story) then better you rent a hollyweird piece of spam because this story is very entertaining in its own right.

Michael O'Keefe Don McKellar writes, directs and stars in this dry humored drama dealing with the end of the world. Citizens of Toronto deal with the world's coming to an end at the stroke of midnight and new millennium. Some celebrate with violence, some vandalism; Patrick Wheeler(McKellar)suffers through a faux Christmas reunion. But he wants to spend that last moment alone in his apartment. Sandra(Sandra Oh)tries to get across town to commit suicide with her husband. A gas company employee(David Cronenberg)spends his time making courtesy calls. Craig (Calllum Keith Rennie)hopes to achieve sexual satisfaction with a special list of women...a black woman, a virgin and his favorite old teacher(Genevieve Bujold). Patrick finds Sandra at his doorstep wanting to use the phone. He tries to help her home, but as the final moments of time ticks, the two are pointing pistols at each other's head. I almost gave up on this film twice; but there was still something about it that kept me watching. Like a bottle of Scotch, LAST NIGHT requires an acquired taste.

jazz-clubber At first this is a multiple story piece interlinked by similar acts, an un-named genre including Traffic, Amoes Perros, Requiem for a Dream, Crash, Babel. Most of these get great reviews for a new ability to show multiple views of a perspective be it drugs, dogs, epiphany, race or relations. I reached this movie late in a search for philosophical sci-fi and I love what unfolds from a holocaust situation such as this. I believe this piece has a good injection of the self and Don Kellar's first piece that showed his life, his friends, his city and all that was on his chest. I've seen in photos a slight mis-look in his eyes and I think the world he lives in and creates are very close.Leader in an unknown field.
