2.5/4
While not quite finished, is a promising indie darling that closely resembles the type of film Martin longed to make, both in theme and biography; it makes you appreciate its existence, however imperfect. Go to Full Review Adrian Horton Guardian 5 days ago
2/5
There’s admirable ambition here, and plenty of sumptuous visuals to spare, but the clash between one section’s biting cynicism and another’s ragged heart proves too discordant to overcome. Go to Full Review Liz Shannon Miller Consequence Jan 30, 2024
C+
The second half never quite lives up to the first half, and the first half feels incomplete as a narrative, which leaves the whole film feeling like a disappointment. Doug Liman’s Go did all of this a lot better, over two decades ago. Go to Full Review Erik Childress Movie Madness Podcast Oct 23, 2026
1.5/4
Less a cautionary tale about drugs and addiction and more a stark warning and reminder not to store your bowling balls on a top shelf. Go to Full Review Todd Jorgenson Cinemalogue Oct 23, 2026
Two overlapping stories compete for the spotlight in this uneven crime drama that muddles its satirical ambitions with narrative gimmickry. Go to Full Review Brandon Lewis Geek Vibes Nation Jul 3, 2024
4.5/10
Unfortunately, Begert’s structural audacity isn’t in service to its story or two. A decent story within Little Death is buried behind a tedious one. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Eye C @ECinc Oct 25, 2026 A depressive story with great performances in a society consumed in a drugs abuse. In the end it’s sad and depressing. See more Read all reviews
