Slant Magazine

Instead of delving into what lay behind John Allen Chau’s recklessness, the film scatters itself across multiple plot angles that confuse more than clarify.

Rated: 1.5/4

Chase Hutchinson

TheWrap

When there is already a documentary about this story, 2023’s “The Mission,” that approaches it with far more tact, this film feels not just unnecessary, but downright distasteful in how manipulative it is by comparison.

The Hollywood Reporter

Many viewers will no doubt feel initially disdainful of John’s recklessly dangerous pursuits, but the film presents his inner struggles so empathetically that by the end all you feel is sadness for a life tragically lost.

Christianity Today

On screen, John Chau’s enthusiasm seems to come from nowhere. Without a lost-and-found character arc, he’s just lost.

In the process of trying to craft a film about Asian Americanness, Last Days ends up imposing this identity where it doesn’t belong—an ironic fate for the story of John Allen Chau.

Film Inquiry

Interesting ideas are presented, but pieced together with muted creative choices, resulting in a lackluster film.
