O Último Paciente

This little gem made me feel stupid, which is a good thing.

What starts off as a by-the-numbers thriller about a killer who visits a shrink to get some kind of closure, turns into something completely different by the end with a plot twist I didn't see coming, although there were several hints given throughout the first hour.

I am not going to spoil things here, but the build-up is just spot on. Cleverly written. We need more movies likes this.

Great plot twists. Very intelligent. Everything plausible. Things very hard to find in a movie these days. I'm not a psychologist but I felt like the way the therapy session developed had a very authentic feel but at the same time was exciting and interesting. It's a stark contrast with the average movie today that appears to target a 14 yr old audience.

People say that it's very gruesome and it does have some parts but much less than other movies,and it's only a few short scenes.

I don't usually like thrillers but it's because most are garbage and have huge flaws. Thrillers like this I could watch on a regular basis. The ending in particular was very good but there wasn't really a dull moment.

My instant pick to watch tagged as an underdog turned out to be a monster,A brilliant piece of cinema in every aspect... Be it a hour glass session, luxurious office space or an finest atmospheric conditions in climax one could crave for a perfect cinema elements.... Take a bow for Anders klarlund for keeping u strangled for nearly 1 1/2 hrs tight session with his twisty screenplay that makes u subliminally guilt and shrink u with a crystal clear screenplay... Signe Olsen and Anton duo strikes instantly with their weird and methodical performance...can't review for more coz this movie speaks a lot to connect u when u watch it making u to crave for more cinema to experience....

First 60-70 minutes were somewhat good, nothing great or memorable though. So was the twist. Unexpected but it still was a 6-ish/10 movie. Nothing impressive, from acting to directing etc.

And then, the movie took an interesting turn, it became not just watchable but recommendable. Most of the movies nowadays have mediocre or bad endings/final parts. The ending here is so good, it's touching, satisfying and almost mind blowing. The characters here are not ordinary people, the story is not the most plausible one, however the viewer is fully convinced about their motives, at least i did. In the end, everyone got what they deserved. Yes, the final twist is somewhat predictable but still, satisfying as hell. And the words of a person before, made me emotional.

A good psychological drama/thriller.

The Last Client: Danish Nordic Noir. Susanne ( Signe Egholm Olsen) is a psychotherapist, her last client of the day Mark ( Anton Hjejle) seems, a little bit odd, paying the receptionist in advance in cash, notes and change. He is soon in control of the therapy session and shows just how murderous he is. She has to endure his game playing , knowing that her family may be at risk. We've already seen Mark at work, arriving at a victim's home dressed as a surgeon. Overpowering the woman he operates on her without anesthesia, removing a fetus which he places in a jar. (Not a spoiler, it's the opening sequence of the film.) This is not the only horrific scene in a film which is replete with disturbing sequences. The sound is very important, being followed on a cobbled street, a torn poster fluttering, someone thinking they heard a scream but dismissing it. There are some important plot twists which cannot be revealed here, perhaps one twist too many. The film is well worth watching though with great performances from Olsen and Hjejle, the tension is maintained throughout the 95 minute running time as the focus shifts from a clinic to woods. Directed & Co-Written by Anders Rønnow Klarlund. 8/10.
