"The Last Face" is the worst kind of good-intentioned noble failure, one that muddles its message because it tries too hard to tell it. November 17, 2017 | Full Review…

Sean Penn turns African strife into a two-hour perfume commercial with The Last Face, veering between gauzy impressionism and shrieky melodrama with his latest directorial effort. July 28, 2017 | Rating: 1/4 | Full Review…

The Last Face spends so much time on the on-again, off-again romance between Bardem's Miguel and Theron's Wren, the African victims are all but nameless and faceless backdrops. July 27, 2017 | Rating: 1.5/4 | Full Review…

While not a perfect film, there is a passion that comes forth when viewing The Last Face as a whole, a passion of a director that is infectious. October 30, 2019 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…

Theron and Penn are both deeply committed to these causes in real life. However, the film's bumbling mix of drippy romance, fetishized violence and self-serving sermonizing in a context-deficient void only makes a mockery of that commitment. October 15, 2019 | Rating: 1/5 | Full Review…

A cringe-inducing, self-serving mess. There's a good film in the subject matter somewhere, but Sean Penn is absolutely not the person to find it. Avoid. April 3, 2019 | Rating: 1/5 | Full Review…
