I've had a very different response to this one. It's hard to describe why I loved it the 2nd time, but I did. GRADE: A-

Exceptional filming! Some scenes are real gems... The way Gus Van Sant succeeds in immersing us in the "long lonely journey" of a lost man is absolutely genius...

This movie was well done, but it was also very boring

Não é tão "pop" e acessível como Control, outra biografia-sobre-roqueiro-suicida-que-fez-história, porque retrata extamente os últimos dias de puro vazio e angústia do Blake (Kurt). Gus Van Sunt cumpriu exatamente ao que se propõe com muita competência e sensibilidade cinematográfica. E até respeito àqueles que esperavam uma obra genuinamente verossímil. O longo plano-sequência em que ele toca violão é sensacional.

This movie was disappointing to me. The best part was Blake playing that song towards the end.

I can't decide whether I think Last Days or My Own Private Idaho is Van Sant's masterpiece.

@Z.Bart. agree. few films i've seen of recent times have tried so hard to place us in the 'subjective' mindset of another individual. Brown Bunny hada similar effect on me. Gus Van Sant's more 'arty' films are hit and miss to me, but Last Days is a winner.

A rejoinder to certain writers below. You're missing the brilliance of the film, which lies in its full-scale immersion in the reality of a tortured man. The film lacks focus because Blake lacks focus. The film meanders because Blake meanders. To complain about "useless loose ends" is to deny the film its very potency. To expect "entertainment" from this set of facts is outlandish.

A definitively difficult movie for me to get through. Although I would consider Gerry amongst my favourite films of all time, this one lacked the focus and overall atmospherics that Gerry achieved so well. The type of movie I should enjoy but I found simply meandered on endlessly with all sorts of useless loose ends thrown in without much explanation.

Says the dumbass who likes this horrid film; and talk shit all you want about Mallrats, but you're the "doofus" for liking a shit-pile like Observe & Report.

If anyone likes this I instantly know that I have nothing in common with them and that we could never be friends.

Fuck this pretentious piece of fucking shit! I like Gus Van Sant, but this is COMPLETELY inaccurate and personally insults me as a Nirvana fan. Kurt would have spat in Michael Pitt's face had he seen this. Sincerley, fuck you.

Van Sant reaches a profound level of truth simply by observing characters in potentially banal situations and refraining from making obvious judgments. The results here are not nearly as powerful as in Elephant, but more interesting than in Gerry. Michael Pitt is fantastic in an almost wordless role. About halfway through, I was worried the film would make the mistake of not giving the audience any music to understand Blake or his appeal. I'm glad that wasn't the case.
