What to Know

Critics Consensus

The Last of the Mohicans is a breathless romantic adventure that plays loose with James Fenimore Cooper's novel -- and comes out with a richer action movie for it.

Catherine Dunphy Toronto Star 12/15/2023
Anchored by a performance of almost Zen-like calm and focus by a lithe Daniel Day-Lewis and another of muted but fierce intensity by Madeleine Stowe, it is nothing less than a cinematic second coming. Go to Full Review Alexander Walker London Evening Standard 12/15/2023
A film that restores to the screen what it used to do best: grandeur of scale, intimacy of people, generosity of emotion, a subtext of saga and legend. Oh hell, what’s the word for it? Yes, “epic.” Go to Full Review Eleanor Ringel Cater Atlanta Journal-Constitution 12/15/2023
In a sense, Mr. Mann has returned to the very roots of motion pictures. With its tumultuous flow of music and images, “Mohicans” is like a long-lost something from the era of silent movies. Go to Full Review Terry Lawson Dayton Daily News 12/15/2023
4/4
The rest of us can revel in what is certainly the best historically minded Hollywood movie since Glory, one that respects the intelligence of its story, its characters and its audience. Go to Full Review Arion Berger L.A. Weekly 12/15/2023
As an amoral and anti-political period piece, deeply invested in the futility of war, the movie's brute splendor is all the more moving because it's so extravagantly doomed. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

bob c 4h Boys own adventure story. Very well done. Fantasy of course. But that’s the point. See more john r Dec 2 Never takes a false step. This is a directors movie through and through and all the better for it. See more Daniel C Nov 29 Haaaa, they just don't make it like before do they? such an underrated movie. One of my favourite soundtracks of all time, Trevor Jones is a beast. See more Adam D @neph-lon Oct 28 Epic. I remember watching this at the age of 13 and it stirring all these emotions, and somehow every re-watch pulls on those same heart strings. It’s a beautiful love story. The soundtrack is iconic, that phrase is thrown around too much but it may be the best score ever written for a film. Cinematography is amazing. See more Sabrina B Oct 20 Ok , do Im born in 1989 … I remember I was about 6-7ish old when I just glanced my mom and her friend watched this movie on VHS . Mind to let you know I haven’t understood English then , and reading subtitles was more or less hard for me ,but rest assured I left all my toys aside and watched movie until end without blinking. My mom was so confused and amazed at same time . When I was in my teenage years I researched it multiple times , and I still can watch it over and over again. See more Leprechaun K @LeprechaunKing Oct 13 Michael Mann at his peak with outstanding performances by Day-Lewis and Stowe. The wonderful score complements the film perfectly. An all time classic.
