Brad Wheeler Globe and Mail Sims probably uses a setting-sun metaphor more than necessary, but otherwise his decisions are immaculate and his film should hold audiences in thrall. Rated: 3.5/4 Jul 8, 2016 Full Review Bruce DeMara Toronto Star Great performances ... elevate the film from merely likable to poignantly satisfying. Rated: 3.5/4 Jul 7, 2016 Full Review David Lewis San Francisco Chronicle Takes a tough subject and amiably rides it out into the Outback sunset. It's a wry film that remains upbeat without betraying its rough-around-the-edges cast of characters. Rated: 3/4 Jul 7, 2016 Full Review C.J. Prince Way Too Indie There's no denying that audiences will enjoy Sims' film, laughing and crying at the exact moments it wants them to, but Sims having his heart in the right place can't entirely mask the mawkish and cheesy nature of the story. Rated: 6.5/10 May 30, 2019 Full Review Asia Frey Lagniappe (Mobile, AL) An extraordinary character study... [Michael Caton] is compelling from the first scene and only grows more so as the film unfolds. Aug 23, 2018 Full Review Julia Raban The Stranger (Seattle, WA) Last Cab to Darwin makes good use of its new medium with beautifully ugly depictions of Australians.

Audience Member Genuine Heartfelt Story Threads It Way Through Central Australia. Love Watching A Film Such As This When I'm A Little Far From Home Cos It Has A Story About Dragging You Back To Yourself, Finding What's Most Important & Just Being Home. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/21/23 Full Review Audience Member An excellent film offering unique and picturesque insights into remote areas in Australia with an equally beautiful plot to go with it. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/09/23 Full Review Audience Member Una película sobre eutanasia pero con un sentido muy personal. Sencilla, interesante,con un buen protagónico y de más interés por ser rodado en el fin del mundo en Australia. El buen papel de Ningali Lawford le da ese giro racial a la película que sube su valor, la historia de Polly es la que lleva la película porque la historia de Tilly es muy floja y sin mucho sentido. Vale la pena. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/14/23 Full Review Audience Member Another good reason to watch a foreign film. Well acted story about a man with only three months left to live. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/03/23 Full Review Audience Member Not many movies deserve all 5 stars, but this one definitely does. Excellent acting, and not a 'same old' over told story. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/04/23 Full Review Audience Member Brilliant!!!!very emotional but outstanding!!!! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/11/23 Full Review Read all reviews
