"I just finished the film, so it’s not a discussion that I
think I can be of any value to, I stand behind the film as it is
and certainly everyone is going to be well entitled to their
response,” Penn told a news conference on Friday.
Set against the backdrop of the Liberian war, "The Last Face"
revolves around a love story between two aid workers. But it
failed to convince the viewers who started to boo in the opening
minutes.
The Daily Telegraph wrote that "Penn has never made a film this
bad before" while The Hollywood Reporter labeled the effort as
"stunningly self-important but numbingly empty cocktail of
romance and insulting refugee porn".
