Rating: 3.5/5 --
James does a fine job of portraying a naïve youth whose eyes slowly open to glimpse both the pleasures and the pain of living.

Rating: 1/4 --
A typical wax-museum reproduction of the American South in which every detail is Southern in bold all caps, and not a single scene over the course of the film's 102 minutes rings true.

Alabama teen drives country-music star Hank Williams on his fatal trip to a concert in West Virginia. Squeaky-clean period tale is well-mounted but thin.

Alas, "The Last Ride" doesn't deliver much insight into Williams or the lifestyle that killed him.

Rating: 1.5/4 --
A romantic "what-if" version of the story, interesting only as a cultural artifact...dramatically inert

The Last Ride squanders its potential, much like its tragic subject.

Austin Chronicle
Rating: 87/100 --
... an evocation of an era, of a lost-highway America evidenced today only in the roadside ruins of old service stations and downtown hotels, of a South before it was swamped by leveling and homogenizing waves of globalization and television.

Product Description:
Henry Thomas stars as country-music icon Hank Williams in this biographical drama set during the last week of the singer/songwriter's life, when he finally succumbed to the many demons that plagued him. A living legend whose quick temper and hard drinking had nearly destroyed his life and career by 1952, Williams booked a pair of New Year's concerts that were intended as his big comeback. The shows were set to be performed in West Virginia and Ohio, and determined to get there on time, Williams hired a young college student as his driver. Despite Williams's fame, the naïve wheelman had no idea of his passenger's true identity. Meanwhile, as the mismatched pair navigated the winding Appalachian roads en route to a gig that was never meant to be, one of the greatest chapters in the history of country music was about to come to a sudden and tragic end.
