Reviews for ONE LAST THING...
“POIGNANT, TEARFUL AND LAUGH-OUT-LOUD FUNNY.
It feels sure of every move thanks to a pitch-perfect script by Barry Stringfellow
and the accomplished direction of Alex Steyermark.
It gives American independent cinema a rich new respectability.”
Rex Reed, New York Observer
“****
It makes audiences feel that life is mysterious, wonderful and grand.
The across-the-board strong performances indicate a sure directorial hand.”
Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle
“MOVING, FUNNY, STARTLINGLY ORIGINAL.
One of the year’s first great surprises and clearly one of its best films.”
Jim Svejda CBS Radio
“Director Steyermark gets great performances from Michael Angarano and Sunny Mabrey.
They bring something special to the proceedings and make it work.”
Luke Y. Thomson, Village Voice
“Intelligently-directed and gives a refreshing new take on a familiar premise. Tender and touching”
Jefffrey Lyons, NBC Reel Talk
"*** 1/2
Propelled by Michael Angarano's funny, nuanced performance
and Barry Stringfellow's virtuoso script, "One Last Thing" is
an irresistible mix of pathos, adolescent anarchy and
occasionally raunchy laughs... a rarified form of magical realism."
John Anderson, New York Newsday
"****
It's funny, it's tragic, it's sweet, it moves at a brisk clip,
and it closes the curtain precisely when it ought to...
It would have been so easy for "One Last Thing..." to wallow
in
obvious sentimentality or opportunistic schmaltz, but instead
it's a slyly intelligent, deeply moving, and warmly appealing little movie."
Scott Weinberg, eFilm Critic
“UNFORGETTABLE. Don’t miss this thing.”
Stuart Lee, WNYX TV
"Nixon shows yet again how, without any Eleanor Roosevelt
prosthetics
or "Sex and the City" glam, she is one of the best."
Stephen Schaefer, Boston Herald
"One Last Thing is remarkably touching if you can manage
to leave your cynical viewing self at the door. It is a quiet film that roars..."
Emily Blunt, Blunt Review
