Critics Consensus

It struggles to find a balance between its humor and its message, but The Last Supper's sharp script and well-chosen cast offer just enough nourishment for fans of black comedy.

The last supper with friends can be very nice or unintentionally end with murder. Directed by Stacy Title and a large ensemble cast; Annabeth Gish, a young Cameron Diaz, Courtney B. Vance, Jason Alexander, Ron Perlman, Bill Paxton, Mark Harmon, and Elizabeth Moss. These grad students are good friends but when they invite the newest guest, Zack he starts sharing too much of his Neo-Nazi ideals. He's a patriot who feels everyone else laughed when he put himself on the field. So one of them kills Zack and now the rest of them have to handle the situation best they can. This turns into a quirky comedy of dinner conversations, politics, and opinions clashing. It's an odd but funny black comedy. Not all the narratives work but it does look at some moral dilemmas.

Featuring the darkest of dark humor, The Last Supper is a biting satire dealing with the moral superiority felt by individuals on both the extreme left and the extreme right of the political and social spectrum. A group of five left-leaning graduate students decide that it would be in society's best interest if they, at a weekly dinner party, start killing those who oppose their ideologies. Before you know it, the backyard is filled with graves and the tomatoes are growing like never before. The Last Supper has a great cast, more than its fair share of uncomfortable laughs, and a fantastic premise that will no doubt stir up conversation, but is hindered by the fact that it starts to become a bit repetitive around the midway point and, as a result, loses a bit of momentum.

This script is written with deep understanding of political mechanisms, though-provoking, non-cliche and an absolute fun to watch. It is perhaps much more valid globally today than in 1995. Someone should definitely recover it from archives and broadcast publicly. If only all Hollywood movies had this level of insight in them, the world would be a better place than it is today :).

Anne Billson

Daily Telegraph (UK)

This impressive debut feature by Stacy Title has its wobbly technical moments and one or two underdeveloped narrative strands, but it's brimful of provocative ideas and moral dilemmas as well as being extremely funny.

Quentin Curtis

Daily Telegraph (UK)

Cynthia Roberts's film is poignant and courageous, but its curious status -- a film of a play that seems to want to be a documentary -- muffles its impact.

There is some thought behind this broad humor.

Common Sense Media

Instead, in its radical attempts to show a war of liberal left vs. radical right, it fails to present true nuance in either camp. In presenting them in such black and white terms, neither come across as reasonable.
