The Hollywood Reporter

Last Letter walks a fine line between bittersweet and saccharine, and too often topples onto the wrong side of that divide.

San Diego Reader

Lovers of unrequited love, rejoice. There is enough handwritten romantic communication exchanged in Shunji Iwai's deceptively uncomplicated romance Last Letter to fill a small post office branch. And no junk mail!

Rated: 4/5

It's a movie that rediscovers the treasures of written letters and honest feelings.

Iwai's Last Letter seemed promising, but got sidetracked in its delivery. And despite its good cast, I'm not sure this letter arrives at its intended destination.

Japan Times

Being an Iwai production, Last Letter is generally attractive to look at, although the languid spell cast by its visuals is broken by some superfluous drone shots and distracting camera wobble.
