Easily one of the most thought-provoking, quirky, fantastically well-acted movies I've ever seen. And felt honest the whole time. Makes you wonder what is meaningful and what is sacred. All in an environment that appears to have no inherent meaning. Unique, for me, in it's approach to romance, which electrifies the film throughout. Takes one from wondering if it's a zombie apocalypse film to wondering about the essence of meaning. I'd die a happy man if I thought films like this were being made every day.

Don McKellar directs/wrote/stars in one small movie that asks us... what is REALLY important? The world is about to end (how is irrelevant) and we follow a (seemingly) random bunch of people as they fill their last hours.On one level they all want to make dreams/desires/fantasies they've held onto happen. Our main character, Patrick Wheeler is caught between fulfilling his parents plans and his own.I don't want to give too much of this simple, beautiful and heartfelt movie away, but I think it boils down to a question of opening ourselves up - to be less alone - and to let love in. I think that one thing Mr. McKellar is trying to say is that the power of love - true love (NOT lust) will get us through - no matter what the obstacle.I've seen this movie several times, and am the last person to be swayed by big Hollywood films that try to "steer" you to "feel" for their characters. Last Night is NOT an action picture. It moves slowly, and builds to an ending that never fails to bring some tears to my eyes. I hope you enjoy it is much as I do.

...means the reborn of the human nature! This is the last night on earth, the nature of the disaster will remain unknown (no mention about that through the whole film but who cares), people quietly prepare themselves for the end deciding with who or how they will spend their last six hours on earth! One is trying to come across the city to meet her lovely husband to commit suicide together, other attends a family meal and decides to spend the night all alone, another person has already write all over his house's walls which exactly sexual fantasy remains to do, this is a deeply emotional travel to human nature near the end, their fears, their abandoned values, their growth to something beyond their lonely life. Excellent performances by everyone (especially from Callum Keith-Rennie as always and Sandra Oh who both received deserved Genie Awards), a personal triumph for Don McKellar (director, writer and actor in the main character role as Patrick). One of the best Canadians films ever
