	Media	Author	Review
		Janet Maslin The New York Times	"[Stillman] once again renders his characters' fretfulness in deft, funny and improbably touching ways"
		K. Austin Collins Vanity Fair	"Twenty years after its release, Whit Stillman’s stylish, witty tribute to a bygone era is still an effervescent delight—with career-best performances from Chloë Sevigny and Kate Beckinsale, to boot."
		Roger Ebert rogerebert.com	"If Scott Fitzgerald were to return to life, he would feel at home in a Whit Stillman movie. Stillman listens to how people talk, and knows what it reveals about them (…) Rating: ★★★½ (out of 4)"
		Caroline Westbrook Empire	"Stillman has created an affectionate, original and highly memorable tribute to a bygone age (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"
		Joseph Jon Lanthier Slant	"The focus of 'Last Days' is a psychologically authentic and painfully parasitic female relationship (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 4)"
