Reviews

The Last Supper has received a mixed reception from critics and audiences alike, reflected in its IMDb rating of 3.5/10. Critics have pointed out some intriguing elements but fall short in execution. 'While the premise of the movie piques interest, the narrative struggles to maintain suspense,' notes a review on Rotten Tomatoes. The performances, particularly that of Unni Mukundan, have been acknowledged as a high point, with one critic stating, 'Unni brings a charisma to his role that momentarily distracts from the film’s wandering plot.' However, many reviews cite pacing issues and a lack of coherence in storytelling. 'The film attempts to weave in multiple themes but ultimately fails to deliver a satisfying conclusion,’ mentioned a reviewer on Filmfare. Metacritic highlights similar sentiments, stating, 'Though ambitious in its scope, The Last Supper is often lost in itself, leading to an unfulfilling viewer experience.' Yet, despite its shortcomings, some viewers appreciated the film's unique approach to a familiar narrative, with a few calling it an ‘interesting experiment in storytelling.’ Overall, while The Last Supper may not resonate with all, it sparks discussion and contemplation about the darker sides of human relationships.
