  • Starring: Artyom Strelnikov, Dina Korzun
  • Summary: Abandoned by her fiance at the airport, a young Russian woman, with child in tow, applies for asylum in England. With her dreams of a better life dampened by the faded seaside resort she must live in during the processing, an unusual friendship develops that gives her hope. A lyrical, beautifully poetic story that earns its deep emotion, Last Resort is a triumph for director Paul Pawlikowski. (Shooting Gallery)… Expand

    Thanks to the wonderful performances from both Korzun and Considine, there isn't a forced or dishonest moment on-screen.

    Unsatisfying at a very high level. It fritters away more than most movies ever offer up.
