Barbara C @RT75014047 05/18/2024 I can understand that the relative nihilism of The low down can be a put-off. Personally, i loved it. It's one of the most honest portraits -- of a man and of a relationship -- that I have ever seen committed to the screen. It puts exquisite detail into depicting that liminal time between youth and adulthood. We have all been there, and perhaps we don't want to be reminded of it. See more 03/17/2017 Aimless British mumblecore. See more 03/29/2012 Quite a poignant movie for me as itâ(TM)s a low key study of a group of 20 and 30 something friends making their way through North London life around the turn of the millennium â" there is a particular light about the summers in that part of the world and the uncertainties of relationships and general struggle to get by make for an involving, unhistrionic film. Aiden Gillen is excellent as ever and Six Musicâ(TM)s Adam and Joe even make an appearance at one point â" they are clients of the props firm that Gillen and his mates work for. Mercifully, the Brummie accent of the heroâ(TM)s love interest is also not suppressed. Thraves recently returned to directing after a gap of a decade and this is something of a lost gem. See more 12/12/2011 Perfectly acted, gently dramatic study of the highs and lows of real-life, with a deeply personal script and some beautifully directed ensemble scenes. One of the few perfect British films to come out of the late 90's. See more 08/12/2009 A stymied account of inner-city friend and relationships with a particular strength on the script and excellent detail in the language. See more 08/12/2009 wow what a movie 2 watch....i have just seen this movie 4 the 1st time n think that this is a good movie 2 watch.....its got a good cast of actors/actressess throughout this movie....i think that tobias menzie, rupert procter, kate ashfield (who plays in the amazing movie shaun of the dead), aiden gillen (who plays in the amazingly brilliant tv show the wire), dean lennox kelly, deanna smiles play good roles/parts throughout this movie....i think that the director of this romance/comedy/drama movie had done a great job of directing this movie because you never know what 2 expect throughout this movie....i think that this is a good romance movie 2 watch See more Read all reviews
