Critics Consensus

Last Christmas (2019) | Rotten Tomatoes (1) Clarisse Loughrey Independent (UK) [It's] a star-studded romcom that plays like an expensive Hallmark film. Rated: 3/5 Dec 6, 2019 Full Review Last Christmas (2019) | Rotten Tomatoes (2) Scott Marks San Diego Reader Still, it's worth a visit to the multiplex to behold cinematographer John Schwartzman (National Treasure: Book of Secrets, The Founder) accept the challenge of illuminating a feature almost entirely by Christmas lights. Rated: 1/5 Nov 22, 2019 Full Review Last Christmas (2019) | Rotten Tomatoes (3) Charlotte O'Sullivan London Evening Standard Last Christmas is patronising, illogical and silly. Rated: 2/5 Nov 18, 2019 Full Review Last Christmas (2019) | Rotten Tomatoes (4) Brittany Patrice Witherspoon Pop Culture Reviews The script isn’t Thompson’s best. Rated: 2.5/5 Jul 14, 2024 Full Review Last Christmas (2019) | Rotten Tomatoes (5) Tania Hussain popculture. Though Last Christmas sticks to some of the genre's prior tropes, it outdoes the norm through a multitude of layers and credible performances that are genuine and scarce in the usual holiday films produced.
