Adam (Anthony Mackie) and Jane (Zoë Chao) are three years into a NASA mission that has gone very wrong: Their ship is broken and drifting between Jupiter and Saturn. Finding ways to pass the time as they become certain that no one is coming to save them, they argue over what to do. One day, Adam poses that maybe they should sleep together; Jane laughs the idea off, but it prompts a flirty debate about whether they're better off spending their remaining days as friends or something more.

Critics Consensus

The charmingly lo-fi If You Were the Last relies on the chemistry of its starring duo to fuel its emotionally driven sci-fi story.

If You Were the Last is a fun yet predictable Rom Com that has a nice little sci fi aspect to it. For the majority of our film our two leads who have great chemistry are stuck in space together alone for about 3 years. They both have spouses back at home and end up getting romantically involved in Space because they don’t know if they are going to ever make it back home. The film is a breath of fresh air as it is creatively different then other Rom Coms before it yet it’s still pretty predictable to figure out. If you are looking for that quick straight to point romantic movie with some great humor as well then check this one out. If You Were the Last gets 3 stars out of 5.

Though Mercado’s script somewhat sluggishly navigates the aftermath, the film’s sincerity and heart prove it is the latest, and one of the greatest, in the overarching canon of emotionally-driven science fiction.

“If You Were the Last” is game for fluffy rom-com-like tension, but it fears its own premise. What a missed opportunity.

Variety

A romantic comedy that revives the screwball formula where two people talk themselves silly — and we only had to go to the end of the solar system to make it happen.

Takes a potentially limited setup and turns it into a cute movie about intimacy that actually understands and engages the challenge.

"If You Were the Last" expertly balances an initial stoner look with a mushy gushy sentimentality.

It's all a little odd but entertaining enough that it works.
