YMMV / Last Night

Go To

  • Awesome Music: Despite (or perhaps because of) Randy Bachman's guitar jam going on downtown, the prize has to go Pete Seeger's "Guantanamera'". The bittersweetest ever soundtrack to an apocalypse.
  • He's Just Hiding: The ambiguous nature of the disaster make it possible to hold out just a little hope for Patrick, his family, Sandra, and the others to survive what's coming.
  • Nightmare Fuel: Duncan's death.
  • Signature Scene: The most iconic moment of the film is almost undoubtedly the final scene showing what everyone is doing to Face Death with Dignity during The End of the World as We Know It while Awesome Music plays in a melancholic way.
  • Stoic Woobie: The woman on the bus (a cameo by Arsinée Khanjian) who seems to be frozen with despair.
  • The Woobie:
    • Everyone gets a nod in this category, if only because the world is coming to an end, but the honors have to go to Sandra. Sandra Oh established herself with this performance.
    • Patrick himself. He grew up having huge problems with his family, then met a woman he fell in love with and who, in his own words, "taught me how I could love" — and then she got sick and died, and only then did it become clear that the world was about to end.
