Guardian

Gogglingly boring and appallingly acted: if this is east London's answer to mumblecore, god help us.

Rated: 1/5

Daily Telegraph (UK)

Thoughtful, affable, unfashionably angsty shoestring debut about young Londoners figuring stuff out in their post-college years.

Rated: 3/5

TAKE ONE Magazine

LIFE JUST IS is a decent film, possessing wit and intelligence (alongside some above average acting) but it will be hard for the film to persist in the memory, as a result of the slightly whiny concerns of the otherwise very likeable characters.

CineVue

Life Just Is' execution is so laboured and reigned-in that there's almost no satisfaction to be taken from neither characters nor story.

Rated: 2/5

Eye for Film

Offering a British twist on the mumblecore genre, writer/director Alex Barrett's debut feature doesn't lack bravery.

Rated: 2/5

There seem to be points potential to be addressed with, the lazy set-up plus amateurish production & delivery ruined it all however.

Rated 1 out of 5 stars
