critics consensus
The Last Face's noble intentions are nowhere near enough to carry a fundamentally misguided story that arguably demeans the demographic it wants to defend. Read critic reviews

"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… -
Rarely has a movie felt so simultaneously inane, stultifying and offensive.
July 28, 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… -
As well meaning as this movie is, it is also a turgid, muddled one.
July 27, 2017 | Full Review… -
Characters are undeveloped, dialogue is platitudinous and insincere, and even the leading roles are one-dimensional.
July 27, 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.

Audience Reviews for The Last Face

Oct 07, 2017The jumps in time prevent us from getting closer to its characters, and it is easy to understand why so many people hated this film when we see a cheesy love story between a white couple made more important than what there is to say about the horrors that happen in Africa.Carlos M Super Reviewer
