Critic Reviews

Robert K. Elder, Chicago Tribune
Too much going on, with too little focus.
Chris Hewitt (St. Paul), St. Paul Pioneer Press
Movies this inane rarely get made, much less released.
Vince Koehler, Entertainment Spectrum
The Last Place On Earth made its US Theatrical premiere in Kansas City at the Glenwood Arts Theater Friday, May 14. Director James Slocum was on hand to answer questions.
Dan Lybarger, Kansas City Star
What keeps The Last Place on Earth from pulling the audience in is that a viewer feels a few steps ahead of the characters.
