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

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.

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

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.

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...

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.

It’s an expertly revealed murder mystery with a heart of gold, and a fascinating study of what could have been a forgotten community.

The singular milieu and its colorful inhabitants make for a unique true-crime study.
