    A true American tragedy, directed with skill and conviction.

    What Last Days offers is a blank and narrative-free, but pitch-perfect, dreamscape on which to project your own personal ruminations on Kurt, fame, whatever, nevermind. If you have none, you're on your own.

    A victory for ambitious filmmaking if not always a successful attempt at character study.

    A film about a junkie rock musician, played by Michael Pitt at his most narcissistic, doing nothing in particular for the better part of 97 minutes isn't my idea of either a good time or a serious endeavor.

    I would have to say that this film missed its purpose completely. Yes, it shows that Blake's last days were filled with people wanting stuff from him, and he was constantly up on drugs, and what a lonely way the famed Nirvana frontman died. However, if this was to be a tribute, the movie would have had to make me feel close to "Blake", who, in the end, I didn't care about at all. Micheal Bay is charged with having too many short shots in his films. Well, this film was filled with stupid shots that if cut by 20 seconds would still be too long. I'm sad that a film about a man I am a fan of made me feel more distant than close to understanding his last days.… Expand

    i usually love slow movies, but this movie makes 'dead man' look like 'moulin rouge'. Casey L was right on - many of the shots are WAY too long. even on fast forward. that said, it definitely evoked the lonley fog of drug addled misery.… Expand
