Joanna (Keira Knightley) and Michael Reed (Sam Worthington) are a happily married couple. However, the fate of their marriage rests on how each responds to temptation during a night apart. Michael goes away on a business trip with an attractive colleague named Laura (Eva Mendes), whose outer beauty masks a deep loneliness. Slightly jealous, Joanna encounters a former flame (Guillaume Canet) and agrees to meet him for drinks, but the innocent date may become something more.

What to Know

Critics Consensus

Last Night doesn't opt for easy answers, but the framework and characters overall are too slight and plain to be compelling.

Slickly written and finely acted, Last Night is at its core a character study. Go to Full Review

thiago s @Thiagostone Aug 15 Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são fracas, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom See more isla s 09/04/2022 To me, this seemed a somewhat predictable film, in terms of the plot development. I thought it must surely be based on a play but when I looked it up online, it seems it isn't. The performances are ok but its not exactly a memorable, certainly not a stand out, film and overall I'd say its ok but no more. I wouldn't go out of your way to see this, perhaps unless your a particularly big fan of Keira Knightley perhaps. Eva Mendes is ok in it too but there's little else that especially appealed to me. Its very much a film that I felt was/is aimed at upper middle class people, which is centered on morality. It made me think somewhat of the film Closer, starring Jude Law. Its not an awful film as such but its just not particularly...good either, so I wouldn't especially recommend it as such, no. See more 01/29/2022 You will be haunted by this (in a good way) for days after viewing ... See more 02/12/2021 I love Kiera Knightley but this is one of the most uninteresting films I have ever seen. I didn't even mean to watch this I got mixed up with another film for my film class. Boring in dialogue, diversity, visuals, story, the whole thing literally was the most difficult to watch movie I have ever sat through, simply because it felt like I was dragged along to a business party where everyone hates both each other and their jobs. See more 04/11/2020 So boring. Thought it was a nice movie to watch in a friday night, but it was a choice to regret. Lame characters and predictable story. See more 04/11/2019 Some people have called the characters in this film uncompelling, however I believe that it's because of the characters' subtlety that makes them all the more resonanting. Through the different perspectives of the night, the viewer is able to peel back layer after layer off of each of the four main characters. In doing so, the characters display and reveal actual human emotion and behavior in a way that may otherwise be dramatized for the sake of entertainment in other films. Many of the characters' actions contradict with their words and beliefs - a phenomenon typical in human nature. Each time I have watched this movie, I have learned something new about the characters along with something about myself. Which characters are justified? Are any of their actions justified or okay? If I was placed in their situation, would I act differently? Overall, this movie is profound and pensive and deserves more than what it received. See more Read all reviews
