Critics Consensus

Last Flag Flying balances raw drama against refreshing moments of humor in an impeccably cast film that wrestles with questions of patriotism, family, and grief.

David Stratton

The Australian

Last Flag Flying raises many questions in a sober and involving manner. The three protagonists are sharply contrasted.

Rated: 4/5

The Age (Australia)

But as a statement about the consequences of America's wars - from Vietnam to Iraq and beyond - Last Flag Flying suffers a little from its maker's preference for keeping things low key.

At least there's a camaraderie in knowing that your losses were for nothing.

I’ll concede: A normal Linklater hang-out movie is mapped on top of a sober Iraq drama, and the mixture doesn’t mesh...Linklater has often proven that perhaps any kind of theme or setting can be reshaped in his mold; this time, it doesn’t take.

Pretty good movie. Really did expect a little more from it. I did like the pace and tone. Did well to make you see and feel where each character was coming from. Some things we left still unexplained, yet I don't know that they needed to and maybe that was intentional. Biggest knock, Brian Cranston's accent seemed a little forced, but his portrayal of the alcoholic veteran in denial with something heavy in his heart was spot on.

I expected more of this film considering its 3 big stars. I was underwhelmed. The film at times was confused if it wanted to be a comedy or a drama. The film took to long to get the characters to their emotional endings. A little too much "now they are bickering again" and "now they are telling old war stories again" that just delayed the plot. The last act was touching, but still cringe at moments in its execution. Despite this, the performances were good and the ending pulled at the heartstrings. Overall, an okay film.

A touching, superbly acted character study with some subtly delivered truths but also some sharp, achingly funny lines – particularly from Bryan Cranston's character.

I watched this movie last night, the cast is great, really good chemistry between the 3 main characters. The story itself is great as well as the acting and script however I think the music attached to the movie is below par and is only thing that let's the movie down. Would definitely recommend.

How did I never hear about this movie? It is an instant classic for me. I laughed, I cried, I loved the character development. Featured some of my favorite actors who were very convincing in their roles. This movie was thick with explorations of personal values and life lessons: growing up, consequences of life choices, aspects of emotional maturity, and an examination of different people making different decisions based on their differing personalities and backgrounds. Furthermore, the characters demonstrated how we can learn to respect others' perspectives, as difficult as that can be sometimes, and still show love to each-other.

Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars
