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] Go to Full Review

Jai B Mar 5 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!
