The film will likely divide viewers, striking many as a self-indulgent wallow, others as a rewarding envelope-pusher. In fact, it combines elements of both.

Unpleasant but hypnotic lyrical meditation on death that was inspired by the suicide in 1994 of grunge rocker Kurt Cobain.

Don't send out the condolences just yet. The movie isn't about the director's death--if anything, it proves that Van Sant is very much alive.

Ne réinventant pas l’approche de sa série, Gus Van Sant nous offre plutôt avec Last Days une œuvre qui effectue brillamment la synthèse des deux opus précédents.

A beguiling work of some beauty, this is a further move into a world of hypnotic, observational cinema for Gus Van Sant.
