## Description

Big-screen adaption of the popular off-Broadway musical by Tony Award winning composer and lyricist Jason Robert Brown. The Last Five Years is a musical deconstruction of a love affair and a marriage taking place over a five year period. Jamie Wellerstein (Jeremy Jordan) is an up and coming Jewish novelist who falls in love with Cathy Hiatt (Anna Kendrick), a Shiksa Goddess and struggling actress. Their story is told almost entirely through songs using an intercutting time line device; all of Cathy's songs begin at the end of their marriage and move backwards in time to the beginning of their love affair while Jamie's songs start at the beginning of their affair and move forward to the end of their marriage. They meet in the center at their wedding.

    Great Musical film, different but Great!
  

*by M***Z on Reviewed in the United States on March 18, 2015*

Not your typical musical like on stage, per say. Last Five Years tells you the story of this couple to which their marriage lasted for five years and the reason I said this within my review before you had a chance to see it, is because is one of those movies, where you are going to know the ending of it within the first five minutes of the movies anyway!.It is one of those films that starts from the end and then they go back in time as to how they got there. There are mostly just two actors through the whole film Anna Hendrix and Jeremy Jordan. What first attracted me to this film, is the fact that I love the way Anna Hendrix sings, I believe she has a very strong talent as an actress as well as a singer and it was because of her I proceeded to watch it, as there are not that many musicals I care to see. Jeremy Michael Jordan is an American actor and singer. He has performed on Broadway and in television and film, as well as in other theatrical productions, and is the first time I heard of him, but I have to say he's pretty good.At no time during the movie, than maybe 5 minutes here and there all together, do they actually "talk". it is carrying conversations and feelings all thru the movie so there isn't a specific song per say, that you would come to remember days or months later, like those in "sound of music" and 'Mary Poppins', to mention a couple.There are certain parts during those conversations while singing of course, that you will find some laughter as to the words she uses in one of those parts, which I will not spoil to you and will likely to catch you by surprise and make you smile. there are some profanities in the singing and some scenes where the act of a sexual scene is just that, they don't at any time show you any nudity or go thru with the act itself.This was no academy award film, but it sure is different that most you have seen in the past and I didn't mind dedicating bit less than two hours to it of my time.Good singing, direction and script while this film was actually an adaptation of a stage musical and unlike some of the other reviews listed where it mentions "do not recommend watching it unless you have seen the stage musical before", I don't believe that is the case, I never saw the stage musical and I thought it to be very good indeed as a film production as I believe you will enjoy just the same. (key thing is, "as long as you like musicals")

    Spectacular singing from Anna Kendrick, but.....
  

*by R***L on Reviewed in the United States on October 14, 2022*

I adore Anna Kendrick and this is worth seeing once for her performance.  However, the songs have that random, arbitrary quality that I dislike in a lot of musicals.  Songs with no chorus, no rhyming, melodies that seem to meander around with no discernible pattern.....  There is one terrific song when she is singing to her guy about yet another ridiculous summer in Ohio summer stock theater, but I didn't like most of the rest.Also, even though I knew going in that this would be told both forwards and backwards, I found it hard to follow the timeline(s).

    Theatrekids, breathe a sigh of relief: this adaptation is totally solid and appropriately heartbreaking.
  

*by K***E on Reviewed in the United States on March 23, 2015*

L5Y was always kind of an odd choice for a movie (the show itself is just two actors, and they're almost never onstage at the same time, usually accompanied by very minimal tech) and putting a movie star and a Newsie together certainly raised some eyebrows--but honestly, this adaptation is pretty solid. Thankfully, there's no gratuitous added dialogue (I'm looking at you, RENT movie) so the film is still pretty short and the story is kept to the songs. Though some of the initial clips released suggested the settings for the songs might be kind of weird (we were all a little freaked out about the car scene when it first came out, I know) the film actually provides really great context for a lot of the numbers; 'A Part of That' in particular stands out as making sense in a way it often doesn't when it's done live, which is pretty cool to see. Both actors are generally adorable and sing beautifully, and honestly, so long as you say all the right words in the right order and sing on key, this show is beautiful and devastating no matter what; the source material is so strong that it is almost impossible to do poorly, but in the hands of talented people, it is a very successful venture. Everybody at my house was in tears when we screened it, and most of the room was deeply familiar with the original show and knew what was coming; to have a house of mostly theatre nerds really enjoying a stage-to-film adaptation is a pretty rare thing (we're picky about musicals getting picked apart by Hollywood, so we get pretty stoked when somebody does it justice.) The two people who weren't familiar with the original were still very impressed and equally devastated, so any non-theatre people who are curious about it should give it a try. Just don't plan on having to do anything for a while afterward, because it will absolutely wipe the floor with your emotions.
