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.
