Lie Low

I saw a lot of 10 *s and 9 *s and though "ok, someone giving fake reviews to boost the ratings. Boy was I wrong. I will remember this movie for a long, long time. Jamie Noel (writer, director...) may never top this imaginative way of showing us that anyone can screw up and we are all the same... everything's connected. Excellent movie!

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".

Lie Low is about vengeance, honor, truth, and family. It's a hard look at the cycle of vengeance and how difficult it is to shake. This film is beautifully filmed--utilizing a shallow depth-of-field-but-still-wide-angled aesthetic that provides the viewer with enough perspective to get a sense of the space while also highlighting how narrowly focused or willfully blind the characters are. The performances in Lie Low were all uniquely strong, whole, and complex. The actors brought heart to an otherwise hypnotically bleak landscape. If I have one criticism, it's that the film is a disturbing downer with very few glimpses of light and humor, which makes it difficult to sustain (as a viewer) for its 98 minute runtime. That being said, the subject matter requires darkness, and by and large, it should disturb you. Make no bones about it--that's what Lie Low aims to do and it does so quite successfully. It's not for everyone, but for those who enjoy bleak thrillers that provoke thought, this is a "can't miss."

Words cannot express how horrible this movie is. Watching paint dry is quicker & more interesting. Script non existent as well as a plot. Bore yourself to death. Worse Than Passing a Kidney Stone. Dont believe all the 10 ratings, it's from the friends of cast and crew.

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.

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!

As a fan of films that tackle spiritual, moral and existential issues, this was right up my alley. This was a well told thought provoking film that delves into the psyche of a troubled man dealing with the demons of his past. Tightly woven script, Beautiful cinematography and strong performances from the entire cast. Looks like this was all done without the backing of a major studio. i look forward to watching it again.
