Metacritic reviews

If You Were The Last succeeds in being sensually aware, wholesomely funny, and emotionally fulfilling.

Hooray! A romantic comedy that revives the screwball formula where two people talk themselves silly — and we only had to go to the end of the solar system to make it happen.

There is a lot of love put into the making of this film and it shows in every single scene. It’s one of the best romantic comedies in a while, and not one to miss.

Despite the harrowing predicament Jane and Adam find themselves in, If You Were the Last is a rom-com. Not only that, it's a good one -- a 90-minute charmer that eschews realistic FX work (the space shuttle itself and the planets outside its windows look to be made out of cardboard and papier-mâché) in favor of putting two actors with fantastic chemistry together in a tight space and letting the sparks fly.

If this was the last romantic comedy of 2023, it’d already have been a great year for rom-coms.

Backed by a colorful DIY aesthetic that makes the most of its budget, the film is nonetheless sappy and, in terms of its comedy, rather cringe-worthy, never quite finding the sweet spot between romance and laughs.
