Sean Penn’s ‘The Last Face’ Ripped Apart on Twitter

Sean Penn’s humanitarian romance “The Last Face” is being savaged on Twitter after premiering Friday at the Cannes Film Festival. Commenters on social media are describing the film, which stars Charlize Theron and Javier Bardem, as the worst of the fest. Others are also quipping that the picture is so awful that it destroyed Penn’s relationship with Theron. The duo broke up a year ago.


Many critics have yet to weigh in with their reviews, so it’s possible that the notices will be more positive than the flash reactions that are bubbling up online. So far, however, this one looks like a turkey.
Penn, a two-time best actor Oscar winner for “Mystic River” and “Milk,” has also directed several films, among them “Into the Wild” and “The Pledge.”
