The Last Word

 (2008)

Comedy | Romance



An odd-but-gifted poet, Evan Merck (Wes Bentley, 'American Beauty') makes his living writing suicide notes for the soon-to-be departed. So when he meets Charlotte (Winona Ryder, 'Girl, Interrupted'), the free-spirited sister of his latest client, Evan has no choice but to lie about his relationship to her late, lamented brother. Curiously attracted by his evasive charms, a smitten Charlotte begins her pursuit, forcing Evan to juggle an amorous new girlfriend, a sarcastic new client (Ray Romano, 'Everybody Loves Raymond') and an ever-increasing mountain of lies in this dark romantic comedy about a quirky young man who can't tell write from wrong.

The Last Word Blu-ray, Video Quality

  n/a


Before The Last Word, director Geoffrey Haley served as camera operator on numerous film and television productions, and his expertise is well exemplified here. Sporting a full 1080p, AVC/MPEG-4 2.35:1 transfer (disregard the box reading 1080i), the film has an inviting cinematic look that exceeds the limitations of its budget. The warm palette, an unusual but effective choice for a film largely about death, revels in bold oranges, reds, and yellows. Textures prove crisp and cleanly rendered with little evidence of over-sharpening. Check out Evan’s corduroy coat; the peaks and valleys of the fabric pop convincingly off the screen. Additionally, the grain field throughout has a pleasing dispersion, and only certain outdoor scenes suffer from excessive film noise. The transfer isn’t perfect, however. Many characters are outfitted in funereal blacks, and details like the edges of suit lapels sometimes get lost in the crush. I also noticed a few white specks on an otherwise clean print. And while most of the film is suitably sharp, some shots from the rooftop scene appear inexplicably soft, and the whole film could do with a slightly better sense of depth. All said though, the defects in visual fidelity are hardly noticeable and won’t take away from anyone’s enjoyment of the film.


The Last Word Blu-ray, Audio Quality

  Array of 5


What this DTS-HD MA 5.1 track lacks in immersion, it makes up in stalwart clarity. Voices glide through the mix with a round, full-bodied timbre, and no signs of distortion or clipping. The aching orchestral score stretches and lifts convincingly. Piano keys strike with somber precision. Though used sparsely, the rear channels do provide some ambience—the clinking of glasses, traffic sounds, vocal pans—and the LFE channel gets a few chances to chug and thwomp during a particularly raucous club scene. While I may not have felt like I was standing in the center of the film, I was never taken out of the experience by any audio inadequacies.
