"The Last Ones" is a Nordic Western that takes place in the untamed Lapland tundra. The protagonist is young miner Rupi, who hopes to scrape together enough money through excavating the tundra to forever shake the suffocating dust of the mining village from his feet. But the work has come to a halt because Rupi's reindeer herder father refuses to sell his land. What's more, the manipulative mine owner nicknamed the Fisherman has his eye on Rupi's friend's wife, a woman who Rupi is also secretly in love with. Now that life in the mining village is becoming more dangerous by the day, Rupi must decide where and to whom he belongs. Is it the primal tundra of his forefathers or the cold terrain of personal interest?

Stephen Dalton Hollywood Reporter A flawed but compelling psychodrama set in Europe's wild north. Jan 12, 2021 Full Review Wendy Ide Screen International Vividly conveys a sense of place and of a faltering way of life. Nov 25, 2020 Full Review Kevin Wight The Wee Review For the most part, [Veiko] Õunpuu is more successful in building mood and characters that become more complex as they're boiled like frogs. Rated: 3 Mar 5, 2021 Full Review Matthew Anderson CineVue Never coming close to matching the majesty of its surroundings, this misguided, tonally muddled frontier drama goes nowhere. Rated: 2/5 Mar 2, 2021 Full Review Amber Wilkinson Eye for Film The whole place feels dislocated, not just in its sense of place but also of time. Rated: 3.5/5 Mar 1, 2021 Full Review Read all reviews
