Lie Low

I love the British crime dramas. They're gritty and laced with dark humour and great characters.

"Lie Low" is no exception. My attention was held throughout the film and it stayed with me long afterwards. You really have to listen and observe as the plot unfolds, but the journey is worth it.

Very well written and directed, with great camerawork and performances, I would recommend watching "Lie Low".

This film was terrific in every which way. It had a lot of tension coupled with truthful, honest acting. The acting was on point. All the actors did such a wonderful job. I thought the pacing of the film was good and I enjoyed the story. It kept me engaged from beginning to end. Strongly recommended.

Lie Low is a tense drama about a man named Parnell who is on the run after witnessing a stabbing. Parnell and his mother lay low on the French countryside with other family members, while we slowly piece together parts of the family's past as the tension and looming danger grows.

Apparently the film was made on a remarkably low budget, with just a small Sony A7Sii camera, and in only 13 days. What the filmmaking team accomplished with those limited resources and time is remarkable. From looking at the credits it is apparent that director Jamie Noel worked in multiple capacities on Lie Low and he deserves applause for his skillful handling of the film. I think that often the best low budget filmmakers use their budgetary limitations as creative fuel to find new and original ways to make movies, often surpassing the overall quality of big Hollywood films. The cinematography was particularly excellent, utilizing beautiful camera movement and wide lenses up close to lend energy to the frame. The soundtrack was also a standout. Performances were good as well, particularly from the lead actor. I have to say that I enjoyed seeing a film set in another country as opposed to the same Los Angeles locations over and over again. If you're looking for a suspenseful drama, I highly recommend Lie Low!

Lie Low is an incredible, tension-filled, gripping drama. It's set in England and follows a young man on the run after he witnesses a stabbing. It was so refreshing to experience a film like this. We so rarely see indies from overseas and I'm so glad I found Lie Low. It's shot beautifully and also has a fantastic score. Performances were top notch. It's impressive all around. Highly recommend!

It's rare to see something so beautifully made. Good gritty realistic story line. Fantastic portraiture of characters and lots of detail has gone into the filming, it's a cinematic experience, the soundtrack and space and silence in this film gives it a more french feel in concept than English - yet it hasn't compromised one bit. Excellent!
