Review For Last Ride |
The Australian outback, the setting for most of Last Ride, an extraordinary film for which the locale is a quiet, almost secret catalyst. Stanley Kauffmann-The New Republic
The title more or less gives away the film's design, but the predestined journey is taut and tragic nevertheless. Colin Covert-Minneapolis Star Tribune
Both Weaving and the movie itself do manage to show that this violent, hopelessly damaged man yearns to be a father, but will never know how. Farran Smith Nehme-New York Post
Mr. Ivin doesn't have a strong narrative line to play with or become distracted by, but he takes off on some lovely detours, whether he's narrowing in on Chook or going wide to take in the world that waits beyond. Manohla Dargis-New York Times
Weaving, best known for The Matrix and the Lord of the Rings trilogies, brings subtlety and poignance to the hoodlum's mercurial character. Mark Jenkins-NPR
Ivin's film, based on a novel, becomes too melodramatic and bleakly obvious. Weaving, though, as always, is never less than magnetic. Joe Neumaier-New York Daily News
Weaving carries the film in a rare lead role as a father who loves his son but has criminal tendencies that get the best of him. Tom Russell is subtle and effective as the boy who has to grow up fast. Eric Melin-Scene-Stealers.com
There were some clear issues with the story and characters that really needed to be addressed well before the cameras started rolling, but unfortunately director Glendyn Ivin and screenwriter Mac Gudgeon didn't do so. Jeff Beck-Examiner.com
While the basic premise of the film is something of a cliché, the execution is nuanced and the two lead performances are never less than convincing. Jeremy Heilman-MovieMartyr.com
This curiosity about the main character -- and his major crime (which is revealed gradually) -- creates and maintains the lovely, looming suspense of Last Ride. Shannon M. Houston-Paste Magazine
The remarkable landscape of Australia's outback [and] Weaving's paternal to scary on a dime performance makes [it] much more than a depressing story about an abusive father. Nora Lee Mandel-Film-Forward.com
Despite its strong visual sensibility and performances, Glendyn Ivin's film gives into contrivance in its final act. Glenn Heath Jr.-Slant Magazine
The performances are marvelous, expressing an enormous reservoir of suspicion and grief without bleeding into melodrama, preferring to expose naked emotion through looks instead of fidgety gestures. Brian Orndorf-BrianOrndorf.com
A sad, standout showcase for Weaving's talents as a man whose good intentions can't fix the fact that irreparable mistakes have already been made. Alison Willmore-AV Club
Father, son on a road to perdition. Don Groves-sbs.com.au
A beautifully drawn, moody film filled with poetry, as it describes the troubled relationship between a father and son. It is all at once a road movie and a coming of age story in which murder, curiosity and struggling to survive are key. Louise Keller-Urban Cinefile
