Calling it quits after 38 years, an aging fast-food worker trains his young replacement on the graveyard shift at Oscar's Chicken and Fish.

Critics Consensus

The Last Shift doesn't quite reach the potential of its premise, however a powerful performance from Richard Jenkins makes it worth the watch.

It sort of ambles along with no great imprint until a sharpish left turn as Cohn tries to transform his small-town drama into something far greater.

Trying to get a spark from a damp match is a lot harder than holding a flame to dry kindling.

3.5/5

It's another tour de force performance from Jenkins, in the same week as his headturning performance as the pater familias of a clan of grifters in Kajillionaire.

3/5

The highly persuasive performances leave us with much to ponder, not least the suggestion that, for these two, as for America as a whole, mutual understanding will be a challenging process.

It gets the usual good performance from the character actor Richard Jenkins.

3.5/5

A wonderfully performed, if somewhat downbeat, portrait of the underbelly of the American Dream. It examines issues of white privilege, racial bias and how, despite the best of intentions, sometimes things just don't work out.
