Leave your thoughts about Last Cab to Darwin.
| Globe and MailBrad WheelerDirector Jeremy Sims probably uses a setting-sun metaphor more than necessary, but otherwise his decisions are immaculate and his film should hold audiences in thrall. On a journey of self-discovery, the metre keeps running. Might as well, Last Cab tells us, get your money’s worth. |
| Toronto StarBruce DeMaraGreat performances ... elevate the film from merely likable to poignantly satisfying. |
| Reeling ReviewsRobin CliffordThe spiritual [journey], though, is the real heart of "Last Cab" as Rex learns the meaning of life, real life, is to not spend it alone but with your loved ones. |
| Los Angeles TimesGary GoldsteinThere’s much to admire about this alternately tough and tender film, including a fine turn by Caton, some striking outback scenery, and many resonant thoughts about living — and dying. |
| 3AWJim SchembriTouching, topical, emotionally raw and delicately directed, it's a heartfelt road film full of humour and pathos that never puts a foot wrong and never, ever, cheats its audience...The performances throughout resonate with authenticity. |
| National PostChris KnightGorgeous cinematography from Steve Arnold captures the otherworldly beauty of the Outback as Rex and Tilly bisect the continent. |
| San Francisco ChronicleDavid LewisThis film is always pleasant to watch. It shows us that life has little detours, all the way to the end. |
| SF WeeklySherilyn ConnellyJeremy Sims' Last Cab to Darwin is a formulaic but still heart-tugging road movie. |
| Georgia StraightKen EisnerThe actors never let artifice get in the way of the movie's deep well of human feeling. |
| Rip It UpDavid 'Mad Dog' BradleyWhile admittedly contrived at times, it doesn't really matter, as Sims again reveals himself as an 'actor's director' and eases lovely work out of the whole cast. |
