"Last Night" is an intimate look into a young marriage over the course of a day. You get some background information from a party that the lovely couple (portrayed by Keira Knightly and Sam Worthington) attends the night before. Joanna is a writer, currently working the freelance market, but truly hoping to produce book worthy material. Michael is a young business man who has to travel over the next couple of days for work. At the party they attended together it becomes obvious to Joanna that Michael is attracted to fellow and new coworker Laura (Eva Mendes). Joanna confronts Michael with her intuition and an argument ensues. He admits that his coworker is attracted to him, but nothing has ever happened as a result. Joanna humbly acknowledges that she truly does not have anything to worry about when it comes to her husband. Or does she?
During their time apart, Joanna runs into a previous love, Alex (Guillaume Canet). Alex is a French writer that she met during her time spent in France. She has never told her husband about this relationship and questions why has she kept him a secret? Is it because she holds out some sort of hope for a future with Alex? And a simple train ride away, can Michael truly avoid his growing desire for the beautiful Laura? It is an interesting and dramatic look at the complexities of relationships.
I give it a 7 out of 10.
Next up is "TiMER."
