Low Life

This movie features a generation that is not my own. I'm closer to 60 than 50 but I was pleasantly surprised by this. Essentially a no-budget affair it kept me intrigued, interested and entertained for the duration. Not once did I check my watch, fast-forward or consider watching it at a faster speed. That says a lot!

I see quite a few negative reviews here including at least one 1-star and that made me wary but various points raised by more positive reviews convinced me to give it a try.

Yes, the main character was obnoxious but I think he was supposed to be and cudos to the kid who played him - he was quite believable.

Actually everyone did great work here and they ought to be proud of their work. If talent is what the industry is all about, this whole team should have bright futures. Alas, success in Hollywood has scant little to do with talent and everything to do with nepotism and connections as well as saying and thinking the "right" things.
