The Last Five Years honestly disappointed me. I've been a big fan of the musical and I was very excited to see it make it's way onto the big screen. The jumping back and forth in the timeline works on stage, but doesn't transfer very well to movies. It becomes confusing and difficult to follow. The performances of Anna Kendrick and Jeremy Jordan weren't terrible but didn't feel strong enough to support the story. The music (very important as this is a musical) was alright, but didn't have the moving effect they did in the musical. The best song was definitely "The Schmuel Song". I actually quite enjoyed Jeremy Jordan's rendition. It's better than your average romantic comedy, but did not live up to it's potential. I'd suggest just skipping this one.

Based on a stage musical, The Last Five Years explores a couple’s relationship; starting with their separation, and then going back to its begin, showing how it grew and then fell apart. The storytelling employs some interesting techniques that are quite effective; especially the transitions between time periods. And, Anna Kendrick gives a strong performance that brings a lot of energy to the film. But the writing is rather poor, as the characters (and their relationship) aren’t that engaging. Additionally, there’s not really a sense of tragedy or sadness to the breakup. The Last Five Years is fun at times, and entertaining (due largely to the music), but it ultimately fails to tell a compelling story.

Gosto de musicais, até que gosto de Anna Kendrick, mas esse filme, pelo amor de Deus, é uma chatice sem tamanho. 1h34min de pura perda de tempo e azucrinação dos meus tímpanos.
