Very bold and profound film. I really enjoyed the directors use of metaphor, allowing our senses to be part of the story and not spoon feeding the audience. Cinematically it was a cut above! Glad to see rawness in the approach and Indie Cinema lives on. I applaud this film and the director.

Logan Sandler's "Live Cargo" is stuffed with arty close-ups and stunning backdrops, but the emotions to connect them are missing.

The black-and-white debut of writer-director Logan Sandler is just sharp enough to complicate its clichs with strong performances and a mesmerizing tone that pushes the mopey proceedings into psychological thriller territory.

A film that confuses silence with great insight, beautiful imagery with emotion and the empty with the profound.

Rated: 2/4

Eye for Film

It's a compelling sketch stretched too thin, with not enough additional substance to fill out a feature.

Rated: 2.5/5

Perhaps we're meant to be the outsiders, peering in to the roiling waves without a clear sense of what's happening just beneath the surface.
