"14.10. Rakenteeltaan niin nerokas mestariteos, etten halua spoilata siitä yhtikäs mitään. Arkisto esitti tämänkin mykän ilman musiikkia kusipäiseen tapaansa, mutta kyllä Murnaun upeaa kuvakerrontaa sekä hengästyttäviä kamera-ajoja kelpasi silti ihastella."

New-to-Me Films of 2012 (366 movies items)

"The Last Laugh gracefully captures the tragedies of an old man who gradually loses every bit of meaning in his life. The film makes up for its lack of intertitles by evoking emotion and personality through symbolism and reaction. Its tragic circumstances are so brilliantly captured, with an unusual ending that ties the whole thing together. Very good silent film. "

life-affirming films (94 movies items)

" The Last Laugh has an ironically life-affirming ending. The film is pretty bleak. The rags to riches ending is a parody of Hollywood endings."
