Last Ride Ratings & Reviews
AV Club
Alison Willmore
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.
New York Post
Farran Smith Nehme
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.
New York Times
Manohla Dargis
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.
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
As Kev, the veteran actor Weaving gives the performance of lifetime.
New York Daily News
Joe Neumaier
Ivin's film, based on a novel, becomes too melodramatic and bleakly obvious. Weaving, though, as always, is never less than magnetic.
Examiner.com
Jeff Beck
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.
MovieMartyr.com
Jeremy Heilman
While the basic premise of the film is something of a clich, the execution is nuanced and the two lead performances are never less than convincing.
Scene-Stealers.com
Eric Melin
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.
Slant Magazine
Glenn Heath Jr.
Despite its strong visual sensibility and performances, Glendyn Ivin's film gives into contrivance in its final act.
Paste Magazine
Shannon M. Houston
This curiosity about the main character -- and his major crime (which is revealed gradually) -- creates and maintains the lovely, looming suspense of Last Ride.
Film-Forward.com
Nora Lee Mandel
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.
The New Republic
Stanley Kauffmann
The Australian outback, the setting for most of Last Ride, an extraordinary film for which the locale is a quiet, almost secret catalyst.
NPR
Mark Jenkins
Weaving, best known for The Matrix and the Lord of the Rings trilogies, brings subtlety and poignance to the hoodlum's mercurial character.
Village Voice
Nick Schager
Ivin conveys both facts and emotions with efficient brushstrokes (a spied glance, an offhand comment) that are matched by an understated, evocative lyricism.
Variety
Russell Edwards
First-time director Ivin makes a smooth transition to the broader canvas of features.
BrianOrndorf.com
Brian Orndorf
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.
