The Last Ones (2020) is a haunting exploration of despair set against the stark beauty of Finland's Lapland. It’s this blend of icy landscapes and a raw character study that really pulls you in. Rupi, the protagonist, drifts through life, caught in a cycle of dealing and drinking, which mirrors the bleakness of his surroundings. The pacing is deliberate, matching the monotony of his existence, but then it builds tension in unexpected moments. The performances are gritty, with a realism that feels so authentic, it’s almost uncomfortable at times. The atmosphere is thick with a sense of hopelessness, yet there’s a thread of yearning for escape that runs through it. The way the practical effects highlight the harsh environment is worth noting too. Overall, it’s a film that lingers long after the credits roll.
