NewFest 2019 Film Review: Last Ferry
Last Ferry is a pulpy thriller serving up Fire Island fantasies with a touch of sexy-psychopath that plays out like a gay urban legend...While it doesn’t hit the heights of other gay thrillers like 2013’s Stranger by the Lake, there is an innocent charm to Last Ferry that smoothes over some of the cracks. In the end you just want to give poor Joseph a cup of tea and a hug – the poor guy’s had a really shit week!
