Low Low

Street smart, uncompromising, sexy, bitter, funny, feminist and beyond all else, raw, Low Low is an indie film that strives to say so much, often through nothing but subtext and casual banter alone. It's a beautiful and honest piece that depicts the rough slice of life four woman have carved out for themselves in a tired, suburban world, managing to do so with genuine finesse. Patient writing and gut wrenching performances from all the leading women (special mentions go to Ali Richey and Kacie Rogers) help lure the viewer into the story and get them thoroughly invested in the nuanced conflicts that threaten to tear any happiness these girls have found clean in two. It's not a perfect film per se, and it doesn't intend to be. It's messy, it has cracks, it's dirty... just like the lives of its four leads, and these "imperfections" ultimately yield truth and empathy that so many indie films today genuinely lack. It isn't an easy watch, for the girls have a tough go of it throughout, but that's life, and that's what I appreciated the most. This movie is a breath of fresh air, and even if it's cold, biting air that comes along in the dead of winter and stings just a bit, it's hugely refreshing nonetheless.

I tried to watch it but I don't think I made it halfway. I didn't check reviews or watch the trailer before watching. That was my big mistake. Because the trailer is kind of horrible and I would never have made the mistake of wasting time on this.

It's like one of those Lifetime movies that pretend to be "ripped from the headlines". Faux social commentary at it's worst. Pretending to be about disadvantaged young women but everybody is pretty and clean and kinda fashionable. The acting is bad. Writing and direction are horrible. Costumes and set decoration are unconvincing at best. Honestly can't think of anything that was worth commending.

So my simple recommendation is this: Watch the trailer. If that doesn't make you want to hurl then there is at least a chance you will enjoy it. If you actually like the trailer then there is also a chance you will enjoy it. Maybe even a good chance.

I wish I had watched the trailer before watching this. I also wish I had that 40 or so minutes back cuz life is too short to watch 3/10 movies.

Literally, one of the best of its kind....

I'm not even sure what I want to say here, I often give this much thought before typing something up and posting it.... That's what's tricky about films like this.... One may get to the end and ask "what?!" and pick apart seemingly unfinished parts and be upset over unanswered questions ..... This is a film you just, have to, feel.... it's one of those, ya know? Its creators did SUCH A BEAUTIFUL job with this! Definitely feels as real as it gets! Every character delivers in that way! Gives found footage realness, in a sense... Heartbreaking and beautiful and wonderful and near perfect. Again, I say- when in reference to films of its kind.... I'm just gonna stop rambling now and end it saying- I watched the trailer afterwards (I dove right in while Prime scrolling, something I rarely do) and my heart swelled so much I felt like I'd explode with tears and emotions- sitting here staring at my phone covered in goosebumps..... and then I came here, so... Yup.

Wasn't sure what to expect as I didn't know any of the actors in this movie but it's was really good! It really surprised me and I wouldn't be surprised of this movie blows up!

Reminded me of "American Woman" as in 90% profanity, fake sex (i.e. scenes designed to give the idea w/out exposing much), parties, alcohol in abundance of course. Females searching for love using the hooks they have, but advantage falls to the guys. Script tries to convey the importance of dedication to education, but comes across as weak.
