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.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Apr 12, 2020

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.

| Original Score: 8/10 | Oct 1, 2019

It's a must-see for its wonderfully original story and equally memorable characters.

Prows presents a multicultural view of those stuck suffering under the bourgeoisie class of America, and the hierarchy in which many of these people perpetually exist.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Apr 28, 2019

A terrific movie -- well made and unpredictable, and announces the arrival of a genuinely exciting new filmmaker.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Nov 3, 2018

Lowlife gives a riveting snapshot into a world filled with criminals, yet it chooses to focus on the good within that deranged world. It weaves through multiple different plot lines, then sews them together seamlessly by the end of the film.

| Original Score: 9/10 | Nov 2, 2018

those who take chances or enjoy some danger in their cinema will be rewarded with one of the most thrilling debut features in recent memory and one of the very best films of 2018.

| Oct 31, 2018

A quirky black comedy that weaves a complicated web of characters, Lowlife takes us back to early Tarantino.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Aug 29, 2018

Lowlife is a film that smacks you in the face with social commentary while a Mexican wrestler provides you with pulpy violent entertainment.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Aug 24, 2018

Lowlife is one of the best films of the year so far. It has a script that is sharp as hell, great performances, and direction that leads the entire circus with a deft command.

| Original Score: 4/4 | May 16, 2018

With a bit of editing and smoother plot development Lowlife could have been expertly unique, but as is, it kind of shoots itself in the face.

| Original Score: 3/5 | May 10, 2018

A watered down "Pulp Fiction" clone and, hopefully, a warm up act for better things to come.

| Original Score: 5/10 | Apr 19, 2018

[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.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Apr 19, 2018

The climax is suitably violent, and I honestly love the fact that Prows keeps the blood and gore to a minimum.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Apr 18, 2018

Lowlife is one of those exciting feature debuts that announces the arrival of a filmmaker who instantly has your attention.

| Original Score: B+ | Apr 8, 2018

Croisement entre Pulp Fiction et Amores Perros, Lowlife est un sidrant thriller criminel teint de mlodrame qui s'impose comme la plus incroyable dcouverte de l'anne jusqu' maintenant. [Full review in French]

| Apr 6, 2018

... has style and attitude to spare, a Tarantino throwback vibe, and a quirky sense of humor.

| Apr 6, 2018

A shallow exercise in nastiness, contriving different ways that people can be cruel to each other.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Apr 6, 2018

Make no mistake, Lowlife has all the earmarks of a true cult classic in the making, and I do think it's a film that will not only be buzzed about for some time, but will also reap great rewards upon repeated viewings.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Apr 5, 2018

The tangled plot is ultimately too simple, and the film's sociopolitical commentary too paltry. But "Lowlife" does have a refreshingly varied and up-to-date cast of characters. With seedy B-movies, just a little bit of ambition elevates the generic.
