Richard Whittaker Austin Chronicle Apr 19, 2018
3/5
[Ryan] Prows also has a more deft and adroit handling of race relations in modern America. While Tarantino has always tackled race head-on, if often with too blunt a tool, Lowlife manages to feed in more subtlety. Go to Full Review

3/4
The climax is suitably violent, and I honestly love the fact that Prows keeps the blood and gore to a minimum. Go to Full Review

2/4
A shallow exercise in nastiness, contriving different ways that people can be cruel to each other. Go to Full Review

4/5
Lowlife is there to remind Hollywood that there are plenty good, entertaining films left to be made before more remakes should be pumped out. It's an original story with a familiar style that works great. Go to Full Review

8/10
The story, slight as it is, hooks you in from the outset and doesn't let go as it hops all over L.A's seediest spots, rubbing our noses in the dirt. Go to Full Review
Carolyn Mauricette Cinema Axis May 16, 2019
It's a must-see for its wonderfully original story and equally memorable characters. Go to Full Review

Finn P Apr 12, 2019 This movie is like Pulp Fiction, the editing, storyline and all, but with Mexicans. It is good overall, but compared to the Tarantino magic created in 1994, this movie is nothing. See more
Finn S Dec 24, 2018 Besides the one crime boss being a lesser version of Quentin Tarantino, this is a good film. Jon Oswald delivered many laughs.
Oct 9, 2018 Very Tarantinoesque with the stories all told from different point of views.
George S Oct 1, 2018 Strange but compelling viewing. Some great performances that kept me interested. Much better than I was expecting. I'd describe it as a dark, bloody, Tarantinoesque farce but that doesn't do it true justice. See more
Albus W Sep 19, 2018 Nice indie film. Begins bit brutally but gets on track quite soon.
George L Aug 21, 2018 Critics blew it on this dog. Is it supposed to be campy? Grindhouse? Bad guy goes good? A farce? See the problem(s)? A mess that could've been quite good if the director could've decided wtf kind of movie he was making. And any 'critic' (*that's right, with parentheses) comparing this to the genius of "Pulp Fiction" is a sh## critic and should have his/her credentials revoked! See more
