What makes The Last Thing He Wanted ultimately so frustrating (while also elevating it a few notches above its awfulness as a thriller) is the fact that there are things it does quite well. February 21, 2020 | Rating: C- | Full Review…

How does a director as stellar as Dee Rees go so thunderously wrong adapting a 1996 novel by the great Joan Didion, with a cast headed by Anne Hathaway, Ben Affleck, and Willem Dafoe? Here's Exhibit A and the last thing any of us wanted. February 19, 2020 | Rating: 0.5/5 | Full Review…

On the page, the reader is transfixed by Didion's spare, sorrowful language. On screen, Hathaway's hard work can't stop the plot twist feeling silly. February 19, 2020 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…

There's some overreach and muddle here - you wouldn't want a pop quiz on the plot - but "Last Thing" remains an intriguing, visually diverting piece, well shot by Bobby Bukowski. February 13, 2020 | Full Review…

The sense of tension and the stakes remain high from frame to frame; it's just what connects them that's often absent. April 20, 2020 | Rating: 2/4 | Full Review…
