[A] deeply alluring contemplation of Macao as reality and myth; an investigation of the locale's past, present, and future; and a fascinating experiment in form ...

"The Last Time I Saw Macao" is a shotgun wedding of arbitrary narrative and generally random images.

Rated: 2/4

New York Times

A sly, amusing if underconceptulized and needlessly elliptical inquiry into truth, memory and appearances from the Portuguese filmmakers João Pedro Rodrigues and João Rui Guerra da Mata.

Rated: 3/5

Rodrigues & Guerra da Mata continue to fascinate with their genre blending takes on their own personal fascinations.

Way Too Indie

The Last Time I Saw Macao is much more fascinating when its main character ruminates on how much things have changed since the colony changed ownership to China.

Very difficult film to rate. I give the film 4 stars solely for the reason that at it's conclusion, I was immensely satisfied that I saw the film. Ask me any question regarding what the film was about, or what the mystery was (let alone what the solution the mystery was), I couldn't begin to tell you. Whatever the answers, they were way above my head. Nevertheless, the film was a must see for me for the visuals/ meditative effect of the cinematography. "Intoxicating" might be a bit of a stretch, but immensely satisfying it certainly was.

THE LAST TIME I SAW MACAO: an essay film that unsuccessfully mixes queer noir with cranked absurdity. Read the full review here: http://366movies.com/2012/11/06/293macao/

An intriguing experiment that sort of lingers with you. It's not for everyone, but some folks might enjoy the unusual ride.
