The Globe and Mail (Toronto)Brad WheelerJul 7, 2016
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. Read full review

This film is always pleasant to watch. It shows us that life has little detours, all the way to the end. Read full review

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. Read full review

Los Angeles TimesGary GoldsteinJun 16, 2016
There’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. Read full review

The GuardianLuke BuckmasterJun 9, 2016
Caton is a perfect fit; he is touching, tender and a little bedraggled, emoting with a worn-out visage that looks like the 71-year-old has been marinated in beer and left in the sun to dry. Read full review

The Hollywood ReporterHarry WindsorJun 9, 2016
The film never becomes morbid, though, which is both its strength and weakness. Read full review
