Last Will and Embezzlement

Reception

The New York Times called the film, "Eye-opening" and "Moving", and described the film style as "seesawing between concerned experts and moving case histories" and said "the film has a bare-bones look that only intensifies its nearly painful sincerity." The Huffington Post called it "a chilling account of how the senior population in this country is being vampirized", and claimed that "it should be required viewing".

Slant Magazine was harshly critical of the film, calling it "inept, unwatchable, and sometimes tastelessly exploitive", and concluding that it is "obnoxiously simplistic." The Village Voice was also negative in its coverage, commenting that the clips from the interview with Rooney "merely exacerbate the earnest but graceless documentary's editorial clumsiness, aesthetic flatness, and endless repetition."
