Gimme The Loot is about genuine friendship. It succeeds in that area even if the execution could have been improved.

| Mar 31, 2020

Keeping in tune with the youthfulness of his characters, and the exuberant elan of the "ultimate crime", [Adam] Leon shoots with a casual looseness that mirrors the essence of youth.

| Nov 27, 2019

Director Adam Leon probes the offbeat corners and rhythms of New York life. In doing so, he also subtly captures the textures of its society, language and hidden economies in a sweetly optimistic street romance.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Oct 31, 2017

Gimme the Loot may scare off future visitors to New York City, but it'll certainly make those who grew up there homesick as hell.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Oct 25, 2017

At once a breath of fresh air and nostalgically old skool, this toys with issues of race, class and gender but manages to wear its authenticity with an unusually light touch.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Sep 5, 2017

The duo's harmless, and ordinary thrill ride through the subway stations runs out of steam.

| Aug 14, 2017

A film brimming with so much life and mischief that it left me in an almost insufferably good mood for days afterwards. I didn't want it to end.

Full Review | Apr 28, 2015

Amid all the copycatting and pricey bombast and genericness, here's a movie that looks like it hails from a real place; whose characters sound like they come from somewhere; whose stakes are stresslessly low.

Watching this film reminded me a bit of 'Friends,' the funny 온라인카지노추천 show where nothing ever happens. Here, there is a lot of activity, but nothing much is accomplished, except for the creation of a funny, entertaining movie.

| Original Score: B+ | Dec 8, 2013

What gets this slight episodic film to first base is the likability shown by the non-professional leads.

| Original Score: B | Nov 22, 2013

When the next American new wave rolls around, it'll be thanks to moments like these, and movies like Gimme the Loot.

| Nov 5, 2013

Full of ear-pleasing lines and obscure R&B tunes, it's colourful, casual and full of flavour. An unexpected treat.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Aug 28, 2013

Every bit as charming and joyful as it is profane, affectionately portraying a slice of life that feels both exotic and recognizable.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jul 12, 2013

Has the mischievous energy and vivid sense of place that distinguished an earlier era of New York cinema...

| Original Score: 3/4 | Jul 1, 2013

First-time feature director Adam Leon's shots are precise and full of detail.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | May 17, 2013

The film's strong suit is its use of locations.

| May 5, 2013

The film is episodic and determinedly offbeat, funny at its best, boring at its worst.

| Original Score: 2/5 | May 3, 2013

Shot on the streets of New York in a loose, freeform style, this lively comedy-drama feels somewhat underdeveloped, leaving us doubtful about its realism.

| Original Score: 3/5 | May 3, 2013

It's a great deal of fun, emotionally touching, and even surprisingly old-fashioned.

| Original Score: 3/5 | May 3, 2013

Some of the movie doesn't exactly convince, and some of the scenes have an actors-improv feel to them, but there's always plenty of humour and energy.

| Original Score: 3/5 | May 3, 2013
