Review of Last Orders (2001) by Will D — 24 Mar 2009
A lot of this film's credit is owed to the wonderful, wonderful book. And one rarely sees so many great actors in one film - simply natural and effortless. Although Mirren and Hopkins' spelling out everything could've been replaced with more character development (eg Lenny), most of the scenes are nicely done.
The ending is most maturely handled - not one bit over-sentimental or uncomfortable. And the final shot, the gliding towards the invisible hands of the oblivious wind... beautiful and profound.
