Dennis Harvey 48 Hills A B&W tale of fringe-y LA life that starts out like a faintly absurdist neo-noir, then gradually turns something more fantastical... Dec 4, 2021 Full Review Kat Hughes THN A black and white science-fiction film noir, peppered with nineties affectations, Laguna Ave wears its eccentricities loud and proud, announcing itself as a new contender on the late night genre circuit. Rated: 3/5 Nov 20, 2021 Full Review Anton Bitel Projected Figures David Buchanan's monochrome LA neo-noir cum comedy body/buddy horror is all at once gonzo schlockfest, trip and singularity Oct 31, 2021 Full Review Shaun Munro Flickering Myth Laguna Ave wears its genre influences on its sleeve - namely Tetsuo: The Iron Man - though fails to deliver quite the same sense of giddy, inspired mayhem. Rated: 2.5/5 Oct 17, 2021 Full Review Read all reviews
