Last Cab to Darwin
(2015)
Directed by Jeremy
Sims this film based on the play of the same name stars Michael
Caton, Ningali Lawford, Mark Coles Smith and Emma Hamilton. A taxi
driver with only 3 months to live drives 3000km to where euthanasia
has recently been legalised.
Inspired by a true
story this film does a good job of exploring the desires of someone
with a terminal illness who wishes to die with dignity. Easily this
film could have been overly melodramatic but it handles the topic
sensitively without drawing any heavy conclusions. There are decent
performances from the cast but it is the script that stands out the
most.
4/5
