The Last Five Years is a musical deconstruction of a love affair and a marriage taking place over a five year period. Jamie Wellerstein (Jeremy Jordan) is an up and coming Jewish novelist who falls in love with Cathy Hiatt (Anna Kendrick), a Shiksa Goddess and struggling actress. Their story is told almost entirely through songs using an intercutting time line device; all of Cathy's songs begin at the end of their marriage and move backwards in time to the beginning of their love affair while Jamie's songs start at the beginning of their affair and move forward to the end of their marriage. They meet in the center at their wedding. ## Product Details - **Genre:** Drama - **Format:** Blu-ray, Widescreen - **Contributor:** Richard LaGravenese - **Language:** English - **Runtime:** 1 hour and 34 minutes ## Images ![The Last Five Years - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91UgfkRYxEL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Gem Destined to Dazzle All!! *by A***A on August 17, 2015* I have always really loved this musical, and was more than excited to see it be made into the film. Like "Rent", this is a story that really doesn't contain any pauses between the music and the script. But what really amazes me about this particular piece is that this was all done without the fancy autotune. Both actors sung the entire film on set, mostly in one shot, without ANY music in the background!! The instrumentals were then added much later in the editing process. If knowing this while you're watching it for the first time, you can't help but be impressed by the sheer talent these two young people have.**SPOILERS**The storyline for those who are wondering is that it begins at two separate points of view in two separate ends of the timeline. Kathy (Anna Kendrick) begins the movie from the end of her five year relationship with Jamie (Jeremy Jordan), while Jamie begins telling his side of the story from the beginning.The scenes alternate between Jamie and Kathy as we see how the relationship began, how they fell in love, to how things fell apart. The love interests meet up in the middle of the story when they do a duet about getting engaged and married before the timeline ultimately forces them to separate once more.In the end of the final song (which is also a duet), Kathy is singing to Jamie from the beginning point in her relationship; expressing her love for Jamie and saying "I will be waiting for you". Jamie on the other hand has decided to end the marriage, and sings in sad reply a sorrowful goodbye.All in all, this is a wonderful musical with an interesting plot reveal. A must have for any true broadway fan, or sappy romantic. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Outstanding and unusual movie. *by D***N on May 14, 2016* To tell a story entirely in music while playing with time isn't something done easily but Jason Robert Brown gets the credit for this love story of a five year relationship in which her story moves backwards and his forward. They meet in the middle for the wedding and we know from the start how the story begins and ends.But this is a piece about character and that's what sustains this piece. Brown is a composer/lyricist of the highest calibre, managing to reach an emotional level that Sondheim does not.Jason Robert Brown is influenced by rock n roll piano men: Billy Joel, but better. Everything he writes has a different sound from this to the Tony Award winning "Parade", Broadway's best piece of theatre since 1998.Anna Kendrick and Jeremy Jordan are actors first though their ability to sing is remarkable. Within five minutes we're not aware that it's all music and we're enraptured by the characters and seeing how each character copes with the implosion of their relationship. An emotional highlight is Jordan's "Nobody Needs to Know" in which the skill of writing and acting confuses us about fidelity.Whether or not you're into musical theatre, this is a good film. It's not for children but it will touch everyone who has been in love and had a break up. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ A vibrant, off-beat musical, no pun intended ;) Kendrick can do it all! *by F***S on November 8, 2016* This is a musical in every sense of the word, probably 95% singing (more than I've seen in any other musical except France's "The Umbrellas of Cherbourg"), even everyday sentences in some instances, though every single song is sung only by its two main stars (Anna Kendrick and/or Jeremy Jordan, as "Cathy" and "Jamie," respectively, with no backup singers or group singing) so first and foremost, you must be a fan of musicals and of Kendrick and Jordan for full effect. Without giving away too much, Cathy and Jamie sing about, well, the last 5 years in their relationship, though it's not always a storybook or fairy tale, not picture perfect, but therein lies its strength as being different and fresh, in a class by itself in many ways, not only as a film in general but also as a musical. The many New York sites, both indoors and outdoors, are also welcome embellishments to a lively and rewarding movie-going experience, though preteens may not go for it or, again, non-musical fans. Jordan ("Newsies") and Kendrick ("50/50") are enthusiastic, energetic, and engaging, especially the multi-talented Kendrick, who more than proves that she has the vocal stylings to go along with her already well-established acting talent, making an Oscar seem inevitable in her future. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.kg/products/15086814-the-last-five-years](https://www.desertcart.kg/products/15086814-the-last-five-years) --- *Product available on Desertcart Kyrgyzstan* *Store origin: KG* *Last updated: 2026-04-25*
