Rich in mood and on-screen talent but lacking in narrative depth, Low Down tells an oft-told tale with a troubling dearth of imagination.

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. Nov 21, 2014 | Rating: 2.5/4 | Full Review…

Gets stuck in a cycle of addiction and morning-after regret while missing a chance to explore the how and why of its characters. Nov 20, 2014 | Rating: 2.5/4 | Full Review…

"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. Nov 20, 2014 | Rating: 2.5/4 | Full Review…

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. Nov 20, 2014 | Rating: 4/5

John Hawkes, a really fine actor, gives a towering performance in this film. He is as good in this film as any actor I've seen this year, including all those guys nominated for all the 2014 top awards. Feb 2, 2015 | Rating: B | Full Review…

"Low Down" is episodic, and the spiral goes straight down. It's tough to take -- there's a lot that's not right about Albany's life, except love and sweet music. Nov 21, 2014 | Rating: B | Full Review…
