The Last Word

The Last Word (2008) is a dark rom-com you can watch online on iFILM, directed by Geoffrey Haley. Wes Bentley plays Evan Merck, a poet who writes suicide notes for clients who've already decided to go. It's a quiet, oddly sustainable living — until his latest client's sister shows up.

Charlotte (Winona Ryder) is everything Evan isn't: impulsive, honest, allergic to pretense. Evan lies about how he knew her brother. Then lies again. Ray Romano rounds out the cast in a supporting turn. What gives the film its edge is that it doesn't wink at its own premise — a man who profits from death, undone by someone who refuses to consider it. Watch The Last Word online on iFILM.
