Last Night Review

The problem with casting ridiculously good-looking people in a drama like this is that it becomes a little distracting. This entire cast is so attractive, their not-inconsiderable acting ability, as a married couple (Keira Knightley and Sam Worthington) are tempted towards infidelity during a night apart, is sometimes overshadowed by their perfect bone structure. The emotions are universal, the script’s dissection of said emotions involving and incisive, but it has just a bit more gloss than it needed. While the film is talky and sometimes stagey, writer and debutante director Massy Tadjedin is one to keep an eye on — especially if the performances she elicits are always this good.
