The Last Day Reimagines Mrs. Dalloway as a Modern Motherhood Portrait
Tribeca debut The Last Day, directed by Rachel Rose and loosely inspired by Mrs. Dalloway, follows two moms—Julia and Taylor—through a Fourth of July in a New York suburb. Alicia Vikander and Victoria Pedretti deliver powerhouse performances as women negotiating career, motherhood, and identity, supported by striking imagery and sound over a cryptic, mood-driven narrative. The film offers emotional resonance and a provocative look at modern motherhood, even as it withholds tidy answers.
