Little White Lies
Making a heist film about the well-off during a pandemic is absolutely ludicrous.
Full reviewAnne Hathaway and Chiwetel Ejiofor lead this romance-heist comedy as a couple whose relationship hits the rocks during COVID-19 lockdown. But before their love sinks for good, they agree to call a truce in order to steal a diamond. Directed by Doug Liman (Edge of Tomorrow) and written by Steven Knight (Locke).
Making a heist film about the well-off during a pandemic is absolutely ludicrous.
Full reviewThis movie would be DOA without Ejiofor and Hathaway’s romantically volatile chemistry.
Full reviewThe script... piles cliches and stereotypes atop ludicrously rickety plotting...
Full reviewMust have seemed like quite the wheeze when greenlit, but now has all the appetising novelty of your eighth Zoom of the day.
Full review(Locked Down) is part romantic drama, part heist caper, and has the entertainment value of neither...
Full reviewThe film deserves total lockdown, preferably in a steel vault, somewhere deep underground.
Full reviewIt's far too dry and meandering for an entertaining bit of fluff, but delirious enough to capture the mood of the moment.
Full reviewHad the filmmakers taken a more easygoing approach, Locked Down might have landed in the realm of The Thomas Crown Affair.
Full reviewHathaway’s comic timing has become a marvel in recent years, but Ejiofor, too, exults in the chance to throw off his usual gravity.
Full reviewI’m wary in general of making any definitive pronouncements about Locked Down, whose charms and irritations (and it has its share of both) are largely a matter of timing and perspective.
Full reviewMaybe this all works, accidentally or not, as a time capsule of very contemporary irritation.
Full reviewCOVID-19 serves as a fitting backdrop for an amiable romp about the freedoms we take for granted...
Full reviewAt times, generates an uneasy mixture of intimacy and showiness, yet it’s a kick to watch a couple of actors who are this terrific pull out all the stops.
Full reviewLocked Down (2021) is available to stream in Australia now on Google Play and Apple TV and Foxtel and Prime Video Store.
