Little White Lies

The results, though at times a little broad, are a low-key, rough-cut metacinematic gem.

Lowlife Love is evidently an overachiever, owing its prowess in the magnificent cast led by Kiyohiko Shibukawa, and the "pull no punches" script and direction.

Emilie Black

Cinema Crazed

A lot of it feels as though the filmmaker is trying hard but not hitting his mark, the characters feel exaggerated, and this all leads to a less than fascinating film.

Rated: 1/5

Whenever Lowlife Love touches you, it leaves you feeling slightly soiled. As was, no doubt, fully the intention.

Mamoru's excruciating devotion to his friend is embodied perfectly in Hosoda's nuanced performance, where Tetsuo's confession of his love for cinema humanises his otherwise appalling behaviour.

Rated: 4/5
