Critics Consensus

Cargo takes a refreshingly character-driven approach to the zombie genre that's further distinguished by its Australian setting and Martin Freeman's terrific lead performance.

Karl Quinn The Age (Australia) Susie Porter, Anthony Hayes and David Gulpilil are among the excellent supporting cast in an uncommonly thoughtful spin on the genre. Jan 5, 2019 Full Review Mark Kermode Kermode & Mayo's Film Review It's actually very powerful. Aug 28, 2018 Full Review Nick Dent Time Out Cargo's big drawcard is its sheer humanity. There's a lot of tragedy on show here, and you'll have to be made of stern stuff indeed to make it through this outback odyssey without a few tears. Rated: 4/5 Jun 14, 2018 Full Review Daniel Howat Next Best Picture How would you care for your child, especially if your own life was threatened? An interesting question to be sure, but the film struggles to overcome genre cliches and pacing issues to explore the answer. Rated: 5/10 May 19, 2022 Full Review Jordy Sirkin Jordy Reviews It This zombie movie places the zombies as a secondary character, giving us a heartbreaking story of survival. Jan 2, 2021 Full Review Matthew St. Clair Cinema Sentries Yolanda Ramke, who wrote and co-directed the film with Ben Howling, has crafted a story... packed with both horror and heart.
