Ably shot and well-performed and observed, Slumming, initially manifests an interesting and unsentimental impassivity and moral neutrality before succumbing to a more-or-less orthodox story of redemption through love. Impressive all the same.
Top CriticDarkness overshadows humor with characters that are either so overbearing or misanthropic that they destroy any enjoyment of its quirky nature.

It has promise, but it is mostly unrealized. ... The story doesn't develop but just falls apart.
The rich toy with the poor and enjoy themselves, so what's new?
