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.

Reviews for Last Days
Accurate, harrowing, and creepy.
08/07/05
Moves with a kind of eerie, real-time effect in which a lonely life drags at its own interminable pace.

"Posljednji dani" bi vrlo lako mogli dovr%u0161iti ono %u0161to je prije vi%u0161e od jednog desetlje%u0107a zapo%u010Deo hitac iz sa%u010Dmarice.
06/21/07
... Van Sant takes an impressionistic, non-linear approach, which creates a queasy disorientation in this atmosphere of decay and deterioration.
07/21/05
Tedious Days. Van Sant’s non-linear style getting tired.
08/17/05
...less art than a joyless exercise in poorly conceived perversity.
07/24/05
The problem with Last Days is that Van Sant's primary mode of saying something is saying nothing.
06/24/05
Weird, sad and dreamy.
07/22/05
Top CriticThere is nothing here that goes beyond media accounts [of the Cobain mystery] and the paceless experience is like taking time for a walk with a zombie.
06/15/05
Van Sant tries too hard to make some meaning out of Kurt Cobain's hazy and crazy last days.
07/21/05
Last Days is director Gus Van Sant's meditation on the death of Kurt Cobain, and an extraordinary meditation it is.
08/12/05
Top CriticA sincere effort to sound an echo into Kurt Cobain's cave....Van Sant turns photographic art into screen poetry.
07/21/05
Full of a mad melancholy almost unbearable in its terrible beauty.
07/21/05
Lyrical and unaccountably mesmerizing.
07/21/05
Top CriticPitt also isn't required to replicate Cobain's offstage intensity or charisma or charm or whatever he had.
07/12/05
Top Critic...for those interested in a fictional interpretation of the demise of Cobain or fans of Gus Van Sant’s latest experiments in filmmaking.
08/12/05
...a lyrical look at the life of an artist. It's a well-honed technical achievement as well, a movie that's photographed, recorded and edited into an organic poem.
07/21/05
Mesmerizing dream of a film.
07/21/05
Top CriticThe movie creeps along at a snail's pace, with dialog you can barely make out and even less often understand.
