Robert Abele Los Angeles Times The narrative invariably feels like merely a framework for Sen’s carefully cultivated black-and-white mood, immersing us in a parched, faded world of loss, anger and hiding. Mar 25, 2024 Full Review Christy Lemire FilmWeek (KPCC - NPR Los Angeles) There's a beautiful bleakness to it. Mar 23, 2024 Full Review Peter Rainer FilmWeek (KPCC - NPR Los Angeles) It's a strong movie. There are very few movies that I've seen from Australia that play this story up. Mar 23, 2024 Full Review Soham Gadre Film Inquiry The atmosphere and desolate quietness of Limbo is what keeps it interesting despite the plot following several predictable steps and anticlimactic turns. Jun 2, 2024 Full Review Liz Braun Original Cin This terrific Australian noir, where the setting is the story, is a powerful outing steeped in shame. Rated: A May 17, 2024 Full Review Anne Brodie What She Said Ivan Sen’s sometimes hallucinatory piece edges into poetry, visions, and sleep as a unique and intriguing entry into the noir genre. Rated: 4/4 May 17, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews

Paul J Limbo actually starts out strong as a modern western, but eventually it just spins its wheels and sputters. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 04/27/24 Full Review Ida Z Apart from the stunning cinematography and some convincing performances, this movie is a recycled crime noir, half-baked with clichés of the genre. The hero is a lonesome, emotionally wrecked detective who becomes too personally involved in a case. No reason is offered for the detective's sudden deepened interest in the case, and most plot conflicts in the film are sidestepped without providing real solutions. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 04/12/24 Full Review Mary V I fell asleep. So slow Rated 1 out of 5 stars 04/11/24 Full Review Elisa H Excelente.Una apuesta valiente, removiendo fondos. Simon Baker está soberbio, una interpretación sublime.👌🏽👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼😍😍 Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/05/24 Full Review Read all reviews
