Reception



Wendy Ide of 'Screen International' wrote that "the story feels a little thin" and that "although the story deals with emotionally wrenching themes, there is a coolness here which keeps us at arm's length". Eddie Harrison of 'The List' gave the film a score of 4 out of 5, writing, "Where 2010's 'Remember Me' used the 9/11 attacks as a punchline, 'The Last Photograph' seeks out where the story hurts the most and sticks with it. The narrative is simple and contrivances are few this film is about bereavement, short and sharp."
