Review of Last Love (2014) by Alasdair B — 09 Aug 2014

Michael Caine as always was brilliant, but "Last Love" has a disappointing end. From the beginning and for a good while the film was going very well. It had a sweet story and was shot very beautifully. There was emotion and everything. However, all is lost in the final act.

Caine plays an older man who has lost his wife, and he has a dis-functional family. He also lives in Paris. He meets a young woman who I think he falls in love with, and she I think has somewhat the same feelings for him. It was semi awkward but in a way not awkward. She reminded him of his wife. It was very sweet and sad. Then comes in the son. Good lord he sucked the very life from the film. His acting was rubbish and he was just unseeded.

Aside from that, it is an ok film that starts out wonderfully, that could have been quite good if it had ended a differently.
