I feel this film is about connection. Connection comes through honesty, humility and truth. As Woody's night-out unfolds in Soho (and its randomness) it reminds me of life. I understand what Woody was trying to capture, and his inspiration and its really BOLD and really an awe inspiring idea - especially as its Soho and London. I must say Woody's self deprecation went a little to far at some points which made it a little unbelievable as I can not imagine any movie star being so grounded. Movie stars inherently have egos, and I can not imagine Woody ever really singing the Cheers song (PAST the first line or a few notes of the song) to a Bouncer so he needs to be true to what happens in real life as well and respect the audience to understand it. I can definitely see him waiting at the back of the line as a laugh - and there is a certain amount of spirituality in that added with the randomness of Soho. I have watched this a few times now, and I just get lost in it, mostly because I see the hurricane that Woody can be and I love Soho and this is a true tribute to anyone that can understand it. I googled the film and was disappointed by the reviews, so thought to add my two cents. Just watch it - open some wine, and just chill. Its what entertainment was supposed to be about.

Fantastic! Can't believe this was shot live. My favorite scene is Owen and Woody's fight...so funny.

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.

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.

Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars

How did I never hear of this?!? 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!

I chose to watch Lost in London because it stars two of my favourite actors (Woody Harrelson and Owen Wilson), and it is classified as a comedy on IMDb. It's a fantastic film, but why portray it as a comedy? It's a slow-burning drama that engrosses the audience thanks to excellent performances by Woody Harrelson and Owen Wilson, as well as a strong supporting cast. Lost in London is one of those rare wonderful movies.

This humour coupled with the film's dazzling technical accomplishments give it lasting value beyond its unique 'live' aspect.

As a director, Harrelson seems to be grasping at elements of far better movies.

Laced with self-mockery, it's very funny, and far better than we had any right to expect.

The on-the-hoof pace ... glosses over certain weaknesses in the story and production values that are forgivable in the context of shooting in real time.

A strong contender for funniest film of the year, yet so much more than just a comedy, Lost in London is the rare film to live up to its lofty ambitions.

Birth.Movies.Death.

It's such a technical marvel that what might be lost in Lost In London Live is that Harrelson, a first-time writer and director, has crafted a genuinely engaging, funny, and soul-baring yarn.
