"The Last Station isn't quite as emotionally engaging as it ought to be but it's worth seeing for its performances alone."
The Sun
"I have a copy of War And Peace but, like many people, I've never got to the end of it. If it wasn't for (Mirren and Plummer's) excellent acting, I don't think I would have reached the end of The Last Station either."
Times Online
"A comforting, Sunday-night costume drama, with some epic performances."
