On October 21, 2021, on the set of the movie RUST, a prop gun held by actor Alec Baldwin fired a live bullet, wounding the film's director and killing its cinematographer, Halyna Hutchins. Within hours, the catastrophic accident was enveloped by a frenzy of media attention. For months, then years, as lawsuits flew and criminal trials unfolded, the tabloid spectacle around the case overshadowed a private, personal tragedy.

Despite its well-intentioned aims, “Last Take” reduces Hutchins’ life to the circumstances of her death.

Its focus may be scattershot, and it may not change a single mind when it comes to placing blame, but like with grief, working through the pain is never clean and tidy.

Hutchins' cinematography was stunning but her death was terrible. The media feeding frenzy and the heartless social media response that followed the tragedy were terrible. People are terrible. Let’s hope this documentary helps affect change.

Some bad things were going on on that movie set, clearly, although the film doesn’t definitively solve what happened.

This documentary is a courageous effort by a friend to uncover the truth, preserve Halyna’s legacy, and remind the world of a brilliant talent lost to a tragic accident.
