- 90The Hollywood ReporterThe Hollywood ReporterThree superb performances by Helen Mirren, Christopher Plummer and James McAvoy should have Oscar handicappers drooling.

- 88USA TodayClaudia PuigUSA TodayClaudia PuigEvery second Helen Mirren is on-screen in The Last Station is a study in peerless talent.
- 83Entertainment WeeklyLisa SchwarzbaumEntertainment WeeklyLisa SchwarzbaumA grandly entertaining historical drama.
- 80VarietyTodd McCarthyVarietyTodd McCarthySolid middlebrow biographical fare in which meaty roles are acted to the hilt by a cast more than ready for the feast.

- 70Village VoiceVillage VoiceTolstoy fought a love-hate war with his bipolar wife, Sonya, and thank God for that, since it allows Helen Mirren, basically playing a cross between Ibsen drama queen Hedda Gabler and the little squirrel from "A Doll's House," to waltz away with the movie.
- 60New York Daily NewsElizabeth WeitzmanNew York Daily NewsElizabeth WeitzmanThough it feels at first like a musty edition of "Masterpiece Theatre," Michael Hoffman's adaptation of a novel by Jay Parini holds enough surprises to make a memorable impact.
- 40The New York TimesA.O. ScottThe New York TimesA.O. ScottThe kind of movie that gives literature a bad name. Not because it undermines the dignity of a great writer and his work, but because it is so self-consciously eager to flaunt its own gravity and good taste.
