Chicago Sun-Times (Roger Ebert)

Oh, this movie is so sad! It is sad not because of the tragic lives of its characters, but because of their goodness and their charity. ...read the complete Leaving Las Vegas movie review at Chicago Sun-Times (Roger Ebert)

ReelViews (James Berardinelli)

Around the time that Mike Figgis began production of Leaving Las Vegas, John O'Brien, the author of the book upon which the film is based, shot himself in the head.

eFilmCritic.com (Dr. Isaksson)

So many good movies start out their lives as relatively obscure novels. I never read the novel but I liked the movie. A lot. Nicholas Cage totally rules and so does Elisabeth Shue. In case you didn't know the story, Nicholas Cage plays a depressed writer...read the complete Leaving Las Vegas (1995) review at eFilmCritic.com (Dr. Isaksson)

Un alcolizzato lascia il lavoro e si trasferisce a Las Vegas per potersi sucidare in pace. Il metodo che ha scelto è l'alcool: vuole uccidersi bevendo a morte (!). Appena arrivato nella città delle mille luci, però, incontra una prosituta depressa a...read the complete Leaving Las Vegas (1995) review at CineFile : il Cinema in Rete (Alberto Cassani)
