Top Critics Reviews

Somewhere over the rainbow the skies are blue, that's the dream. Some make it, some don't - this eloquent daughter's tale shows both sides.

rotten:
Gets stuck in a cycle of addiction and morning-after regret while missing a chance to explore the how and why of its characters.

rotten:
"Low Down" nicely evokes a smokey mood of '50s jazz and Hollywood noir and deserves points for its emotional straightforwardness, but its tired story and deliberate pace never really draw you in.

fresh:
Whiplash is like one of those Buddy Rich solos the kid idolizes: hot, sweaty and in-your-face. Low Down is like the version of Billy Strayhorn's Lush Life played in one of this film's club scenes: somber, moody and cool to the touch.

The acting makes it a far more compelling ride than it otherwise would have been.
