Reviews

The Globe and Mail (Toronto) -
Director 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.

Variety -
It’s not so much the destination but the physical and emotional journey embarked on in this thoughtful, culturally authentic road trip.

|
San Francisco Chronicle -
This film is always pleasant to watch. It shows us that life has little detours, all the way to the end.
|
|
Village Voice -
Sims imbues his characters with rich thought and heart, particularly in regards to the understated, racially complicated, on-again/off-again relationship between Rex and Polly.
|
|
Screen International -
The film’s destination might be apparent, but the trek through past regrets, race relations and the central subject itself never feels drawn out.
