Synopsis: A young boy travels across Australia with his father, who's wanted by the law.
A beautifully drawn, moody film filled with poetry, as it describes the troubled relationship between a father and son. It is all at once a road movie and a coming of age story in which murder, curiosity and struggling to survive are key.
Glendyn Ivin's natural cinematic flair ensures the smooth transition from text to screen in a story that Mac Gudgeon has scripted with a sparse, raw, slow-burning dynamic.
Solid Aussie filmmaking elevated by its capable cast.
Weaving has a brilliant instinct for playing damaged men, as he did in Little Fish. Kev is a heartbreaking character, a hard-shelled survivor. Weaving captures all his brittleness, the years of damage.
this is a major Australian film in what's proving to be a great year for Australian films.
The landscape plays a big part in this journey into darkness, this land of ours which draws the marginalised into its own sense of alienation. A tough film but a very, very good one.
Hard but poignant, Last Ride is a haunting journey.
Don't miss Last Ride. It will take you places we haven't been for some time in Australian cinema.
The first half hour or so stumbles; the movie's so determined to avoid melodrama that it's too flat and too familiar. Once father and son are out in the remote countryside, though, something clicks.
Though the script doesn’t always reach its potential, visually this is a stunning film that challenges its audience.
Weaving draws on his vast experience to show the complexities of his rugged and violent character, while also offering glimpses of the man's softer side and his genuine affection for his growing son.
