"The Low Down" is a hapless film that tries to be more artistic than it really is.

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Sep 28, 2001

a hit and miss affair that lacks a cohesive style and story

| Original Score: C- | May 23, 2001

Has an aura of honest observation that engages even when almost nothing is happening on-screen.

Full Review | May 3, 2001

Thraves lets his story drag as if aimless drama will somehow reflect the aimlessness of his characters' lives. It doesn't; it simply bores.

Full Review | May 1, 2001

Tries so hard to capture the reality of life's struggles, yet fails to deliver.

| Apr 30, 2001

It feels completely organic and our interest never flags, despite the fact that nothing really significant happens.

| Apr 26, 2001

It does have something to say to those patient enough to stick with it.

| Apr 26, 2001

Until literally 30 seconds before the credits roll, the film's cast of arguably interesting people don't do a thing worth paying eight bucks to watch.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Apr 23, 2001

As Frank walks his own ambivalent path toward emotional adulthood, Thraves brings the ring of truth to his journey.

| Apr 23, 2001

If you hid a video camera in a room, recording every word and action of the people there, watching that video would be something like watching The Low Down.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Apr 21, 2001

Has such a prosaic, straightforward approach, it's sublime.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Apr 20, 2001

Yes, this is another English dramedy about the demands of friendship, but it's in a far more realist key than the posh, slick Hugh Grant films.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Apr 20, 2001

One of the most aimless, hard-to-follow films I've seen in a long time.

| Apr 20, 2001

Gradually becomes an unusually satisfying slice of life.
