Alas, "The Last Ride" doesn't deliver much insight into Williams or the lifestyle that killed him.
Paul de Barros, Seattle Times
Overview
At the end of 1952, with the best years of his career behind him, country music legend Hank Williams hires a local kid to drive him through the Appalachian countryside for a pair of New Years shows in West Virginia and Ohio.

The Last Ride doesn't give us a complete picture of Hank Williams. But it does ably illustrate the final days of his life.
Mario Tarradell, Dallas Morning News

James does a fine job of portraying a naive youth whose eyes slowly open to glimpse both the pleasures and the pain of living.
Kerry Lengel, Arizona Republic

Dramatically thin, formally uninspired and thematically weak, "The Last Ride" really goes nowhere.
Mark Olsen, Los Angeles Times
Fresh
Bearing all the hallmarks of a small-budget labor of love, The Last Ride is a leisurely paced but modestly engaging road trip that gets considerable mileage from the byplay between its two lead characters.
