The story is too farfetched. Go to Full Review
Keri O'Shea Warped Perspective Nov 2, 2022
All in all, and by the end, Low Life feels like a modern-day parable. It brings its own lessons to bear on a scenario which feels, at least at first, plausible, recognisable. Go to Full Review

It constitutes a pretty strong (as well as nastily funny) commentary on our era’s rampant public narcissism... Go to Full Review

Low Life is a gripping and absorbing thriller with an intensely uncomfortable second act that highlights the talents of all involved. Go to Full Review

3.5/5
The movie is trapped somewhere at the intersection of horror, drama and thriller. It’s grimy. It’s tense, and it’s not an easy sit. However, with a cast and crew of up-and-coming talent, it’s at the same time refreshing... these movies are labors of love Go to Full Review

Low Life can be an incredibly difficult movie to watch. The cast are fantastic and there is nothing wrong with it technically. It is an unrelenting film that deals with heavy subject matter. It is definitely worth the time, but be prepared going in. Go to Full Review

Adrian E @RT37114213 1 day ago This was the most asinine movie about child predators… I cringed more at the obvious/repetitive storytelling and some seriously terrible acting from "Benny" rather than the actual disturbing subject matter. I will say that the other actors did a solid job, but almost anyone else could have played the lead better than the guy they chose. This movie makes me feel like the director thinks an audience needs to be spoon-fed a very simple premise. Rather than crafting a nuanced series of events, the film’s writer just kept slapping on messier situations and pretended that convoluting the movie would be enough to move the story forward. Also, none of this is even remotely believable. Situations like this occur, but they don’t play out like that. The worst part is that I usually find this subject matter fascinating albeit disturbing…. And this could have honestly been great with some MAJOR re-writing/re-structuring… it had the concept/makings of an interesting film, but the execution failed.

Their plan to film a guy admitting to being a predator goes terribly awry and from there on out it’s a bloody ride. The ending is incomplete though, that’s my only beef with it but overall entertaining See more Read all reviews
