A suicidal ride share driver ends up driving a sick man with two days to live
This is a film that doesn’t do anything new narratively, however the film scores because the cast take their assignments seriously and they create characters we want to hang out with because the make them people.
I’m not going to lie and say this film is going to rock the pillars of heaven, it’s not, but it is going to entertain you. Watching the film after 100+ films from Tribeca I wanted to go off the board and see something that I wasn‘t being yelled at by a PR firm to review ASAP. I just wanted something I could watch and get lost in. I got lost in THE LAST RYDE for the better part of two hours and forgot the world. That may not sound like the be all and end all of a review, but the truth is it’s the small films like this that are the best sort of ones to watch. Away from expectations it’s the films like this that we can just be and relax and let the people on screen make us smile for a while.
Is this high art? No but you a couple of hours you’ll forget the BS of the world and be.
Worth a look for the curious.
