A wealthy man has been holed up high above Las Vegas in a penthouse hotel room for nearly a month, clearly suffering from some unnamed trauma. His night with a mysterious young woman turns into several nights, as he discovers that she is more than a match for him intellectually. She, too, is intrigued and while she initially stays because he is paying her, the two begin a complex relationship that could turn into something more than just lustful desire. But both have secrets, and getting to the bottom of those--without the inevitability of money getting in the way--will be a challenge.

Laura Potier Outtake Mag The Last Days of Capitalism succeeds in staying afloat thanks to the charisma of its actors, their fluid chemistry, and the film's sporadically striking dialogue. Rated: 3/5 Dec 4, 2021 Full Review Bill Arceneaux Moviegoing with Bill If there is ever a time to let acting alone, it's in the very personal. "The Last Days of Capitalism" is able to cut through any faux thematic depth by way of great performance and greater capture. Rated: 3/5 Nov 3, 2021 Full Review David Nusair Reel Film Reviews ...stirring, compelling... Rated: 2.5/4 Nov 3, 2021 Full Review Shikhar Verma High on Films [The Last Days of Capitalism] makes for a rather convincing portrait of the faux American dream and white privilege. Rated: 2.5/5 Oct 31, 2021 Full Review Loren King Loren King Viewers may debate who profits from whom and whether capitalism is the victim but that ambiguity is one of the film's strengths.

Mark S Smart romantic drama that kind of turns into a thriller at the end. Great writing and performances. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/09/24 Full Review Richard K The Movie is brilliant! The whole movie is one continuous metaphor; which I finally realized about halfway through (duh); I immediately had to watch it again once I understood the metaphor. The second watching was even better. The acting is superb, and the characters charismatic. It is definitely not for the feeble of intellect. And it's not about the sex... again the sex is part of the metaphor. Loved it. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/01/23 Full Review martha h Really thought provoking. Great acting. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review jake b Boring. Inane conversation with two boring people, blithering about nothing. Terrible. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review j z An excellent, engaging movie. Although it may feel a little claustrophobic at first because of the single location, that focuses attention on the complex depth and history of the characters in the film.
