Constantly waiting to return to this narrative builds suspense, and each new vignette is a knife twist.
This often leaves the character seeking vengeance in a no-mans land of morality.
But emotionally thoughtful writing and a strong performance from Lin ensure Melanie nevertrips into cartoonish villainy.

Functionally a 2-hour-long gut punch,The Very Last Dayis nothing short of a masterpiece.
It’s hard to believe this is Jouarie’s first directorial effort.
