The Last Movie Critic 2026

The Last Movie Critic is a documentary portrait of Roger Ebert, not just the critic, but the idea he became. Through the voices of the filmmakers he championed and the words he left behind, the film explores how one man’s deep and abiding love for cinema became a gift to everyone who ever sat in the dark and felt something. A celebration of movies, of empathy, and of the belief that what we watch together can make us more human.
