[edit] Reception
The film was both a commercial and critical failure and caused a significant amount of controversy because of the touchy subject matter. Prominent critic, Roger Ebert gave the film a "zero star" rating saying,
This is it - located at last and with only six weeks to spare - the worst film of 1988. "Last Rites" qualifies because it passes both acid tests: It is not only bad filmmaking, but it is offensive as well - offensive to my intelligence.[2]
In America the film grossed a measly $427,000 making it one of the biggest box office bombs of 1988.[3]
