Romey Norton Film Focus Online The Low End Theory is an eventful LGBT drama, with a shocking end worth watching for. The messages you can take away from the film are, don’t bite the hand that feeds you, don’t cover someone else's debt, and in a weird way, to follow your dreams. Rated: 3/5 Nov 13, 2024 Full Review Ronak Kotecha ReviewRon This piece of enthralling pulp fiction is full of romance, malfeasance, betrayals, setups and intrigue - that constitute a convoluted plot. Rated: 3.5/5 Nov 5, 2024 Full Review Amber Wilkinson Eye for Film A satisfyingly twisty plot that plays by the established rules of cross and double-cross while still being unpredictable. Rated: 3.5/5 Oct 23, 2024 Full Review Federico Furzan Movie-Blogger.com A riveting neo-noir thriller with great performances and a third act that will leave you drained of hope and strength. Rated: 4/5 Oct 20, 2024 Full Review Morgan Rojas Cinemacy An indie neo-noir thriller set in LA, 'The Low End Theory' has the swagger of a 90s-era music video. Oct 7, 2024 Full Review Victor Pineyro Seventh Art Studio Sofia Yepes gives a powerful performance in a directorial debut that tries to pull the aesthetic of the Safdie brothers to a more Latinx experience. Doesn't add up much to the genre but deserves the watch. [Full review in Spanish] Rated: 7/10 Oct 5, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews

Jai B The Low End Theory was such an intense and captivating movie! I was completely drawn into Racquel’s story, her struggles, her love for Veronica, and the dangerous path she took. The cast was incredible, and there were moments that genuinely shocked me. I loved how the movie balanced drama, suspense, and those unexpected twists. The darker visuals added to the mystery and tension, and by the end, I was on the edge of my seat. It’s definitely a film that sticks with you, and I’d recommend it to anyone looking for a powerful and unique story! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/05/25 Full Review Val V If you like crime thrillers, this film keeps you on the edge of your seat from start to finish! The music is also badass! Anyone know if there's a soundtrack available? Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/05/25 Full Review Bull by the H I am not the target audience for this film but I must say that objectively, it is a good film and I enjoyed it. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/05/25 Full Review Rocio L A bold and gritty ride that pulls you in from the start!! This is what Latino representation looks like in a film! The whole ensemble delivers. Sofia Yepes is mesmerizing in her performance, capturing both strength and vulnerability in a way that feels raw and real. Francisco Ordoñez’s direction keeps the tension high, and the hip-hop-infused score gives it an extra edge. That ending: goosebumps. If you love crime thrillers with style, this one’s a must-watch! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/04/25 Full Review Marie L Star Sofia Yepes is one to definitely watch. She transformed into an unforgettable character who reminds us how vulnerability can mess you up! She kept you guessing about her next move! This is an edge of your seat thriller that will make you think twice before you let someone get close! I was not disappointed with her life decisions and ultimate payback and recovery from dumb mistakes. We’ve all been there! Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 03/04/25 Full Review Layla A “The Low End Theory” is a gripping neo-noir thriller with a powerhouse ensemble cast. Sofia Yepes, Rene Rosado, and Eddie Martinez deliver standout performances, while director Francisco Ordoñez masterfully builds tension and drama. Paired with a fantastic hip-hop-infused score, this film is a must-watch for crime thriller fans! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/04/25 Full Review Read all reviews
