Reviews
"My Last Round" has garnered a range of responses from critics and audiences alike, reflecting its introspective style and nuanced performances. On IMDb, it holds a rating of 6.7/10, suggesting generally favorable opinions. Reviewers have praised Roberto Farías for delivering a subtle and compelling performance that captures the vulnerability and resilience of his character. Critics from Latin American cinema circles commended the film's intimate approach and its authentic depiction of a fallen athlete's life without resorting to melodrama. However, some reviewers found the pacing slow and the narrative lacking in energetic momentum, which might challenge viewers seeking a more dynamic storyline. According to a review in a niche film festival write-up, "The film shines in its raw honesty and unpretentious examination of regret, though it demands patience from its audience." Overall, "My Last Round" is recognized for its heartfelt portrayal and strong character focus, making it a thoughtful addition to Chilean cinema but perhaps limited in broad commercial appeal.
