Last Stop Larrimah is like an Aussie Lord Of The Flies, being played out by a cast of adult alcoholics - with more flies.

Tancred wisely keys us into the rhythms of Larrimah, showing the relative boom times of an Australian outback town that was once a regular stop on the trek of many Australian or backpacking tourists.

It’s a fascinating document about life on the fringes of society; a movie that examines themes as old as storytelling itself — jealousy, anger, betrayal.

| Oct 28, 2023

Feuds fan ferociously, aided by the harshness of Larrimah’s rugged wildness.

Despite the fact that the criminal case at the heart of the film feels slightly unsatisfying, overall, this film is a character study of, and love letter to, Australians who live on the fringes and are stubbornly content to do so.

Like so many other true-crime docs, by the end, you can’t help but feel that the journey [...] is ultimately exploitative. Though it’s an entertaining portrait of eccentric Aussie characters, the film is much too devoted to doing just that — entertaining.

Last Stop Larrimah is ultimately a pitch-black comedy -- a digressive slice of cultural anthropology that chuckles into the abyss.

| Oct 9, 2023

Tancred’s aesthetic approach to the material feels a bit too cheeky at times, as if he’s both bewildered by and a bit making fun of these people, especially in the music choices.

| Original Score: C+ | Oct 9, 2023

"Last Stop Larrimah" is a tale about provincial dynamics and the hostilities they often breed, as well as about the unique types of men and women who willingly choose to spend their days and nights on the outer edges of civilization.

The movie resembles reality shows that string together insinuations and trash-talk without knowing when to quit.

The colorful cast and characters do not take away from the seriousness of the case.There are plenty of twists and viewers will be guessing until the very end. Last Stop Larrimah makes a strong case for best true crime documentary of the year.

| Original Score: 8/10 | Oct 7, 2023

Every scene, effective but long in the tooth, is built on the entertainment value of these oddball figures, sorta like “Tiger King” but less gross and exploitative.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Oct 6, 2023

While indeed, Last Stop Larrimah plays like any true crime product, it’s impressive Tancred and company stumbled upon this story.

Last Stop Larrimah is decidedly entertaining (although it loses momentum along its extended running time), both as a whodunnit as well as hard-baked look at Nowhere, Western Australia.

Arson, sabotage and intimidatory tactics involving kangaroo penises all get their moments, and although the film is crammed full of incidents and ‘accidents’, one can’t help but feel that the filmmaker has only seen the tip of the iceberg.

| Original Score: 5/5 | Mar 21, 2023

A fascinating story and even more compelling characters.

| Original Score: B | Mar 19, 2023

When speaking of a town that could be seen as a laughingstock, the mere act of seeing their lives taken seriously becomes moving.

| Mar 19, 2023

Far from exploitative, this documentary is illuminating, digging deeper than the cheeky news reports about pies and missing persons. Tancred recognizes their showmanship and charming eccentricities, but also that these are people...

| Mar 18, 2023

I think there’s a version of this twisted tale that has a little more affection for the people of Larrimah (and runs much shorter than this 120 minutes), but there’s enough to like here in a well-done true crime doc.

| Mar 17, 2023

Last Stop Larrimah works as a captivating, twisty mystery that intentionally gets lost in the bush at times, but it also is a story of not getting lost in the past, and the resilience of small towns like this.
