Following a devastating loss, Nadine and Lewis retreat to a small Bahamian island where Nadine's family has kept a house for many years. As they try to heal and move forward with their relationship, the community on the island shows signs of unraveling, with the island's mayor, Roy, squaring off against Doughboy, a human trafficker who manipulates the impressionable homeless teenager Myron into assisting with his smuggling operation.

Logan Sandler's "Live Cargo" is stuffed with arty close-ups and stunning backdrops, but the emotions to connect them are missing.

B-

The black-and-white debut of writer-director Logan Sandler is just sharp enough to complicate its clichs with strong performances and a mesmerizing tone that pushes the mopey proceedings into psychological thriller territory.

2/4

A film that confuses silence with great insight, beautiful imagery with emotion and the empty with the profound.

2.5/5

It's a compelling sketch stretched too thin, with not enough additional substance to fill out a feature.

Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são fracas, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom

Very bold and profound film. I really enjoyed the directors use of metaphor, allowing our senses to be part of the story and not spoon feeding the audience. Cinematically it was a cut above! Glad to see rawness in the approach and Indie Cinema lives on. I applaud this film and the director.
