The story begins in New York City on Thomas' final tour in 1953 -- a tour that was meant to save him from ruin. The Welsh poet's reputation for heavy drinking and philandering would soon be forgotten as eager audiences are captivated by his poetry lectures. Full of poetry, passion, and an ultimate betrayal, the poet who gave us Do not go gentle into that good night, Under Milkwood, and stories and broadcasts such as A Child's Christmas in Wales and Portrait of the Artist as a Young Dog, rages, loves and fights against the gathering darkness. One day at the local White Horse Tavern, he drinks 18 double scotches, naming each one after his life experience. Soon his fantasies, his memories, and an uncertain present blend into a wild, surreal farewell to the world. Read More Read Less

Sheila O'Malley RogerEbert.com Last Call is a pretty grim watch. Not 'gorgeously grim.' Just grim, end-stop. Rated: 2/4 Nov 25, 2020 Full Review Claudia Puig FilmWeek (KPCC - NPR Los Angeles) It was so talky and tedious. The drunken posturing, the besotted ranting -- those get old really quickly. Nov 21, 2020 Full Review Peter Rainer FilmWeek (KPCC - NPR Los Angeles) This is a long slog through a very dark time at the end of Dylan Thomas' life. Nov 21, 2020 Full Review Keith Garlington Keith & the Movies It’s cemented by rock-solid supporting performances and a director willing to take risks even if they don’t always work the way he hoped. Rated: 3.5/5 Aug 23, 2022 Full Review Peter Canavese Celluloid Dreams A noble idea that might have worked but the patchwork structure, repetitive point scoring and wasteful diversions become increasing frustrating. Rated: 1.5/4 Dec 6, 2020 Full Review Frank Swietek One Guy's Opinion Even Ifans...is playing to the rafters in what is overall a brutally self-indulgent portrait of the artist as a man hastening the inevitable end of his downward spiral. Rated: C- Dec 3, 2020 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member Dylan Thomas comes alive with Rhys Ifans portrayal of him. I became curious of Thomas, his life, career because of this movie. I could not believe how Mr. Ifans had his tone, inflection and speech down so well! I had bought the DVD. It is money well spent. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/24/23 Full Review Audience Member There is something rotten in the state of tomatoes to laud the plodding Mank with cosarges of ivy and gold whilst leaving this magnificent celebration of a life in utter ruins, out in the cold. Beautifully shot, mostly in black and white with outstanding performances, particularly from Rhys Ifans as Dylan Thomas, bruised, decayed and almost operatic in his grubby little alcoholic suicide. In addition, the great voice and the great poetry roll on throughout. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/20/23 Full Review Audience Member Not a big fan of Dylan Thomas poetry but Rhys Ifans performance is engrossing an Oscar worthy. It's like watching someone fall off a cliff in extreme slow motion. A very sad film about the destruction of the creative human spirit. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/10/23 Full Review Audience Member This film is mesmerizing. Brilliant director, extraordinary acting, beautifully shot and written, impressive score. Poetical, emotive, honest and passionate. Genuinely a work of art! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/21/23 Full Review Audience Member Incredible performances and memorable, poetic dialogue. I enjoyed the way it breaks with the standard biopic structure we've seen far too many times and tries something new. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/05/23 Full Review Audience Member A unique film about the last days of the poet Dylan Thomas. I was captivated by the story, acting, and the unique style it was shot in! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/26/23 Full Review Read all reviews
