United Kingdom	Mike McCahill The Guardian	"You know exactly what shape it’s going to be once you’re wrapped up in it, but that doesn’t mean it lacks for comfort and warmth (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
Ireland	Brian Lloyd entertainment.ie	"'The Last Right' moves at a steady pace, but is held back by how familiar it is and how it travels with the genre in such a safe and predictable way"	NEU
Ireland	Donald Clarke Irish Times	"A likeable salute to a Magic Ireland we don’t see much anymore (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
Ireland	Kimberly Reyes Film Ireland	"Michiel Huisman has a fresh and alluring onscreen presence (...) This scripting of autism doesn’t feel as tight and nuanced as it did in 1988 when 'Rainman' was released"	NEU
Ireland	Alan Corr RTÉ	"It's a mix of reverence and gallows humour that needs to tread a fine line and one which writer/director Aoife Crehan tackles in her likeable but misfiring debut feature (…) Rating: ★★½ (out of 5)"	NEU
Ireland	Chris Wasser Irish Independent	"[It aims] spectacularly low in its execution, resulting in a film that is annoyingly broad and surprisingly lazy (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"	NEG
