Zack Snyder (Liga da Justiça de Zack Snyder) apresentou seu novo filme, The Last Photograph, no Festival Internacional de Cinema de Toronto, mas a estreia do longa não parece ter convencido a crítica presente no evento. As primeiras reações ao 13º filme do diretor foram majoritariamente negativas, com comentários que apontaram problemas no ritmo, na duração e nos excessos já associados ao estilo do cineasta.

Exibido na seção de eventos especiais do TIFF, The Last Photograph é um thriller de ação escrito por Kurt Johnstad, colaborador de Snyder em Rebel Moon – Parte 1: A Menina do Fogo e Rebel Moon – Parte 2: A Marcadora de Cicatrizes.

Diversos críticos afirmaram que The Last Photograph parece uma versão ainda mais exagerada e sem filtros das marcas conhecidas do cineasta, citando a violência gráfica, a longa duração, o uso de câmera lenta e uma narrativa considerada excessivamente indulgente.

Um dos comentários reconheceu que há um thriller intenso escondido dentro do longa, especialmente em sua primeira parte, mas avaliou que o filme se perde depois em escolhas autorais e acaba se tornando uma experiência irregular. Outros foram ainda mais duros, classificando a produção como cansativa, confusa e excessivamente longa.

Também houve quem apontasse problemas na forma como Snyder retrata a América do Sul e comparasse a ambição do filme a clássicos como Apocalypse Now, mas sem considerar que o resultado alcança a mesma força. Para parte da crítica, a tentativa de construir uma obra mais intimista e próxima do cinema de arte acaba esbarrando justamente nas características mais excessivas do diretor.

Nem todas as reações, porém, foram negativas. Um crítico descreveu The Last Photograph como uma mudança ousada na filmografia de Snyder, destacando o caráter mais intimista da história, a fotografia assinada pelo próprio cineasta, as paisagens colombianas e a trilha sonora de Zimmer. Confira a seguir:

THE LAST PHOTOGRAPH – Tragedyslop that the extreme Snyder fans may have forgiven if it had any of his more unique quirks or verve but it lacks much to recommend. Even the folks who cheered for Batman V Superman in the intro were tittering during the emotional climax. #tiff26

THE LAST PHOTOGRAPH isn’t quite a return to form for Zach Snyder. Less stylized and more intimate, grounded, and brutal than any movie he has made to date, the film takes itself far too seriously and features comically excessive and unnecessary nudity of women. Snyder doesn’t… pic.twitter.com/jD3GYJAzyS

ZACK SNYDER’S “THE LAST PHOTOGRAPH” is grotesque, shameless and an utter disgrace from start to finish. It is Snyder at his most unfiltered, with no studio intervention and is the films largest problem. It’s desperate to be Snyder’s ‘Civil War’, but feels like Daily Wire slop… pic.twitter.com/WPYH8tvuIi

The Last Photograph: about 90 minutes of it is a brutal, unrelenting thriller. Some incredible action and uncompromisingly rough. But there’s another 45 supremely indulgent auteur gunk that is snicker-worthy. There’s a good movie in it – but the cut we saw is a (fascinating) mess

THE LAST PHOTOGRAPH: Snyder’s version of The Quiet American represents a certain nadir for TIFF programming. But don’t worry — this lurid, turgid, and not a little bit racist tour up river will likely never escape Toronto in its current form. #TIFF26

I’m sure Zack Snyder believes he’s made something far more profound and artful than his previous work with THE LAST PHOTOGRAPH, and in some ways, he has. Unfortunately, it’s still a tedious, frustrating, and grueling experience. Easily the worst film I’ve seen at TIFF so far.… pic.twitter.com/I8U5fkiyJE

The Last Photograph is a real nasty piece of business. Zack Snyder clearly got to make the film he wanted to make, and good for him, but man oh man is it one I wish I hadn’t seen. Boring, bloated, brutally violent, it’s excessive in all the wrong ways.#TheLastPhotograph #TIFf pic.twitter.com/D1Ymx306aE

The Last Photograph: Pains me to report that Zack Snyder spent 25 years trying to make his war journalist mercenary take on Apocalypse Now and The Searchers and the final result was functionally indistinguishable from Sound of Freedom. #tiff26

The Last Photograph is daring departure for Zack Snyder from his typical filmmaking, creating a more intimate story anchored in photography and brought to life by his striking cinematography and Hans Zimmer’s musical score. Sprawling Columbian landscapes are beautifully captured… pic.twitter.com/4ML065ur5u

Put Zack Snyder in directors jail permanently. THE LAST PHOTOGRAPH is dogshit. Its aimless, contrived, misogynistic, convoluted, messy, overtly long, abysmal, repetative, slow, shallow, and downright awful.
Only positive- it looked pretty.#tiff pic.twitter.com/JpWKy5PKVC

THE LAST PHOTOGRAPH – Zach Snyder’s abortion of a film is one of the worst to ever play this festival. APOCALYPSE NO. Just unabashedly shit on every level, an excercise in incompetence and hubris, and an embarrassment to have been screened. #tiff26

— Jason Gorber (@filmfest_ca) September 14, 2026

THE LAST PHOTOGRAPH has all the hallmarks of a typical Zack Snyder film: vicious violence, questionable ethics, a long drawn out running time, slow motion, and cool looking shots just for the sake of it. I admire his audacity, but have no idea why this exists. #TIFF26 pic.twitter.com/3D6OP9Bhsb

— Dave Baldwin @ #TIFF26 (@davemabaldwin) September 14, 2026

Watching The Last Photograph must’ve been like when the boys felt watching Medellín in Entourage. Possibly one of the worst films I’ve had the displeasure of sitting through. Snyder joking that this may be the only time the film is screened doesn’t feel like a joke anymore.

Zack Snyder tries so hard to make an art house movie with #TheLastPhotograph that the finished film feels like a parody. Gratuitous and sluggishly paced, it features a compelling premise that’s held back by Snyder’s worst tendencies as a filmmaker and shoddy performances. pic.twitter.com/iBaWJ0QAt5

It’s kinda apparent why a studio didn’t make THE LAST PHOTOGRAPH with Zack Snyder. There isn’t really a movie here. There are many interesting images, but it’s dramatically a non-starter. And lead Stuart Martin isn’t up to it. #TIFF26 https://t.co/oDqxBLJSvN

The Last Photograph (🌟🌟🌟) sees Zack Snyder bring a decades-long passion project to life in a stunning, staggering fashion. I’ve always admired Snyder’s boldness as a storyteller, and he once again displays mastery of crafting vibrant, meaningful visuals in a film reminiscent… pic.twitter.com/OJZyV0rURq

Qual é a história de The Last Photograph?

Diferentemente das grandes produções de super-heróis, ficção científica e fantasia que marcaram boa parte da carreira recente de Snyder, The Last Photograph aposta em um thriller de sobrevivência ambientado nas montanhas da América do Sul. A história acompanha um ex-agente da DEA que retorna à região em busca dos sobrinhos, desaparecidos depois que seus pais, diplomatas, são brutalmente assassinados.

Para encontrar as crianças, o protagonista precisa contar com a ajuda de um fotógrafo de guerra decadente e dependente químico, interpretado por Fra Fee. Ele é a única pessoa que teria visto o rosto dos responsáveis pelas mortes. Juntos, os dois embarcam em uma jornada cada vez mais perigosa para descobrir o paradeiro dos jovens e a verdade por trás do crime.

À medida que avançam por uma região distante da civilização, a missão também se transforma em uma jornada psicológica. O protagonista precisa lidar com os próprios fantasmas enquanto a fronteira entre realidade e surrealismo começa a desaparecer. O ambiente hostil da América do Sul, portanto, não funciona apenas como cenário, mas também como parte central da atmosfera do filme.
