Critics consensus

“Michael Hoffman's script doesn't quite live up to its famous subject, but this Tolstoy biopic benefits from a spellbinding tour de force performance by Helen Mirren.”

With all of its faults, The Last Station will satisfy even those only slightly familiar with the works of Leo Tolstoy and the time in which he lived

Despite all the bitterness and skulduggery, The Last Station is surprisingly warm and spirited in tone.

RTAt the Movies (Australia)Apr 1, 2010

In the end the film is quite moving, and the original home movie and newsreel footage we see over the end credits adds a potent touch to the drama we've already seen.

A lavish costume drama about the final months in the life of Leo Tolstoy, The Last Station treats the author's end as a tragi-comedy, with the emphasis more on boisterous comedy than sombre tragedy.
