Last Night
1998 · Movie · R · 94 min · ★ 6.7 · 75% critics
With the world set to end at midnight, people across Toronto spend their final hours in very different ways—seeking comfort, connection, distraction, or closure. As routines break down and small moments turn strangely meaningful, the night becomes a quiet, offbeat look at what matters when there’s no tomorrow.

About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want an intimate, quirky end-of-the-world story focused on choices and relationships rather than spectacle; Not for you if you need clear answers, constant action, or big effects like a typical disaster movie.
Pros: thought-provoking and human; quirky dark humor; memorable emotional punch | Cons: little explanation given; uneven focus on side stories; pacing can feel slow
