Last Days

LAST DAYS (2005) - Mar. 31, 2006
Hmmm. This movie was really well directed and featured some good performances (though he has almost no coherent dialogue, Michael Pitt still managed to give a really good performance). However, it was the weakest of Gus Van Sant's recent trilogy; it lacked the bizarre hypnotic appeal of Gerry, or the emotional impact of Elephant. It was definitely well directed, featuring some Kubrick-like compositions, but it just wasn't all that interesting. I was never all-out bored, but I was never really entertained, either. **1/2
