	Author	Review
United Kingdom	Benjamin Lee The Guardian	"Charlize Theron and Javier Bardem give career worst performances (...) This is not a film about Penn helping people, it’s a film to show how much he wants to be seen helping people. (...) Rating: ★ (out of five)"	NEG
United States	Eric Kohn IndieWire	"Penn's first directing effort in a decade is a total misfire (...) .A supercilious attempt to bemoan the hardships of neglected people under the guise of whiny romantic fluff"	NEG
United States	Ben Croll The Wrap	"There were several lines so wincingly written and embarrassingly delivered that they caused the audience at the press screening to burst into sarcastic applause."	NEG
United States	David Rooney The Hollywood Reporter	"Stunningly self-important but numbingly empty cocktail of romance and insulting refugee porn"	NEG
United States	Owen Gleiberman Variety	"Technically speaking, 'The Last Face' is often an impressive achievement (...) Yet Penn would do well not to mistake his own global caring for an artistic impulse."	NEU
United Kingdom	Tim Robey Telegraph	"'The Last Face' is the pompous nadir of Sean Penn’s career (...) Rating: ★ (out of five)"	NEG
