Kevin o @Lono33 Apr 7, 2025 As a movie, it's good and absolutely worth watching. But when you realize the achievement, it's an absolute masterpiece! Shot once, in real time, as a 'one-er', and then was broadcast live as filmed... There is nothing like it in history. Think of it. No editing, no cuts, no edits. If One things fails, if ONE actor drops his lines, or... slips and falls. I read this was also done with 1 camera and 1 camera man. Geesh, that poor guy. There is a ton of stairs. Try that with your iPhone, walking backwards upstairs filming, and don't run into the guy with the boom mic. It's just the best execution 0f any scene since the (now overrated) Liotta entrance to the Copa. Gts if you haven't seen that. See more SONIA L @RT87507583 Aug 5, 2023 Fantastic! Can't believe this was shot live. My favorite scene is Owen and Woody's fight...so funny. See more Dave S @RT68722908 Feb 19, 2023 Loosely based on a Woody Harrelson misadventure one night in London, Lost in London is pretty impressive considering it was shot in one uninterrupted take. What's even more impressive is the fact that it was broadcast live in theaters, allowing no room for errors or restarts. Harrelson plays himself, wandering the streets of the city in an attempt to get back to his hotel to make amends with his wife for an outrageous indiscretion. The scenes with Owen Wilson are comedy gold and there are more than a handful of laugh-out-loud set pieces. Assuming that much of the movie was improvised, it is nothing if not an impressive and ambitious project. See more isla s @RT89656869 Nov 6, 2022 This 'film' is a weird one. The story is pretty flimsy and its hardly a laugh a minute. I didn't really 'get' the whole 'live' aspect of it. Its scripted and yet at the start its going on about how its a live show streamed to cinemas, supposedly all done in one take? surely that's not possible. Given what happens, its hard to feel especially sorry for Woody and I'm a fan of his acting work but still... there are definitely some cringey moments (particularly Bono on the phone with the cops) and its certainly watchable but it doesn't really work overall. The most interesting part of this is that its, apparently, based on a true story, to which all I can say is 'sheesh - what a bad night!'. I can't help but wonder why it's called 'Lost in London' given he isn't really lost as such - he's a bit of a lost soul in a way I suppose but given he tries to get out of situations by effectively bragging about his Hollywood status, again I'd say its not easy to feel too sorry for him. I found it a bit hard to believe that it was genuinely filmed and broadcast live, in one take no less, so they say. That is certainly some feat. I imagine this may well appeal more (or mostly?) to people studying film, potential directors in the making and so on, in terms of the technical side of things but it didn't really grab me, as far as it being an exciting or compelling story, hence the lowish rate, as I rate films more for how they appeal, how engrossing and compelling they are, rather than any technical intricacies involved. This is an ok film but no more, so I wouldn't go out of my way to recommend it, unless your a big fan of Woody and your interested in seeing a depiction of a bad night for him, in which case its maybe worth a look, otherwise no.

Woody directed this single shot film and I'm amazed at the technogical feat was shot live and then shown in theaters immediately. And the self-own for all his films, Owen Wilson's in jokes.... effing great! He actually sang the theme for Cheers! See more Simon T @MovieTart Mar 26, 2021 This has no right to be so good. Woody Harrelson writes, produces, directs and stars in a 100 minute nightmare comedy based on a true incident that took place while he was starring in a West End play. For reasons best known to Harrelson he decided to film this in one uninterrupted take, and have it shown around the world as it was unfolding. And it really really works. Any glitches are invisible and the laughs come thick and fast, especially after he's arrested for breaking an ashtray in the back of a cab. Terrific supporting cast, but this is Harrelson's show and he triumphs. See more Read all reviews
