‘The Last Face’ attempts to mesh a deep romantic drama with the grave realities of war, resulting in a film that struggles to find its footing both in storytelling and emotional engagement. Despite a high-profile cast and production team, the film falls short in delivering a coherent and impactful narrative, as reflected by its critical reception.
