Barbara C 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. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/18/24 Full Review Karen Coaching F I just watched this, and understand that its lack of plot or action won't be for everyone. However I loved it. The nuances of the characters and the motivations were easy to pick up on for me, and her confusion and liking for him were interesting and painful to see, plus his hesitation and inability to commit to anything or make real decisions were obvious to see. The intimacy between them felt raw and real. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/13/23 Full Review Audience Member Aimless British mumblecore. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member 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. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/09/23 Full Review Audience Member 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. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/26/23 Full Review Audience Member A stymied account of inner-city friend and relationships with a particular strength on the script and excellent detail in the language.
