Last Words

About This Movie

So, Last Words is set in a hauntingly desolate future, 2085 to be exact, where the birthrate has flatlined for over ten years. It’s this grim backdrop that gives the film a very somber, almost melancholic tone. The pacing is deliberate, allowing the weight of the situation to sink in. You really feel the desperation of these survivors, each with their own backstory, as they converge in Athens. The young narrator, Jo, brings a unique perspective—his aim to create the world’s last film feels both poignant and tragic. The practical effects, while not overwhelming, serve to enhance the bleak atmosphere. The performances are solid, capturing the despair and the flicker of hope. There’s a subtle, reflective quality that makes it stand out amid the genre.
