Travis Hurley (Simon Baker), a detective, arrives in the remote outback town of Limbo to investigate the cold case murder of local Indigenous girl Charlotte Hayes 20 years ago. As truths begin to unfold about the events of the murder, the detective gains a new insight into the unsolved case from the family, the witnesses and interviews with the brother of the chief suspect.

Critics Consensus

Limbo probes Aboriginal injustices with a patient eye, using the scars of history as the backdrop and basis for a powerfully minimalist mystery.

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.

There's a beautiful bleakness to it.

It's a strong movie. There are very few movies that I've seen from Australia that play this story up.

Everyone has heard the old saw that it’s not the destination but rather the journey that matters. That’s certainly the case with “Limbo,” which I found weirdly compelling despite its lack of resolution.

8/10

A masterwork of crime storytelling that takes you far beyond the case and into the underlying depressive state that sinks its teeth into the victims long after they’ve lost hope.

2.5/5

Almost every single second of Limbo is completely devoid of anything other than a static delivery that goes no deeper than the thinnest surface.
