Mark C Given the synopsis, I did not give this movie much of a chance to start. Boy was I wrong. A grounded script and fantastic acting across the board made this a very worthwhile film about many different layers of family relationships and the funeral custom in Hong Kong. Dayo and Michael shine here. So did Tommy Chu. I weeped like a dog by the end of the movie. A real gem. I watched the extended cut as my first viewing and after comparing to the original version, I would definitely recommend the extended cut. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 09/27/25 Full Review Alpaca P Super powerful!!! The messages and the culture background.... super spot-on! Since it did not elaborate deeper in the movie, some audience might feel lost or didn't quite get it. The actors did phenomenal job in delivering the plot! Bravo!! 👏👏👏👏👏 Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/18/25 Full Review vivi w The Last Dance offers a rare glimpse into the taboo yet little-known world of funeral planning. It weaves in family drama and questions of legacy, but above all it serves as a powerful record of a culture on the verge of disappearing. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 08/18/25 Full Review MB C The Last Dance is a gentle, heartfelt drama that finds surprising warmth in the world of funerals. When a broke middle-aged man partners with a stoic Taoist priest to run a funeral business, their professional arrangement slowly evolves into a journey of personal growth and spiritual reconciliation. The film balances light comedy with emotional depth, supported by a wise, well-structured screenplay and quietly powerful performances. Without melodrama, it reflects on family, loss, tradition, and redemption—reminding us that saying goodbye can also be a way to rediscover life..... Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 06/24/25 Full Review Max W A film about heritage, death, and breaking through hell — one that says much, and leaves even more unsaid. Break Hell invites countless interpretations, leaving viewers with questions that linger long after the credits roll. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 06/22/25 Full Review Gareth D A bit over-rated IMHO, extremely predictable, like it's telling you clearly, in advance, telecasting exactly what's going to happen when (could tell exactly what was going to Lin and when the call was going to happen), same for Man and so on. Who was the woman in the mortuary who was so upset she couldn't see the deceased? Not much backstory on the characters. Cheesy and slow in parts. It was reasonably enjoyable, but certainly no masterpiece. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 04/19/25 Full Review Read all reviews
