Heidy Morales Hye's Musings 17h
['Little Lorraine'] feels grounded. There is tension where there needs to be until, inevitably, the tension can no longer be sustained. The result is an accumulation of choices that, for better or worse, affect many people’s lives for a long time to come. Go to Full Review Richard Crouse Richard Crouse 3d
4/5
Urgent and realistic, Little Lorraine’s stranger-than-fiction exploration of economic desperation, loyalty and moral dilemmas succeeds because isn’t just about the crime, it’s about the people. Go to Full Review John Kirk Original Cin 4d
A-
It’s difficult to decide what’s more compelling in this story: the characters, salt-of-the-earth Canadian miners who were desperate enough to go through with the scheme, or the simplicity and near-success of the scheme itself. Go to Full Review Sarah Gopaul Digital Journal Oct 8
There’s a dreary quality to the film. It’s like dust from the mine sapped the colour out of everything, so [all the characters are] just lacklustre versions of what they could be. Go to Full Review Sara Clements Next Best Picture Sep 15
7/10
“Little Lorraine” delivers a haunting and atmospheric portrait of a community in crisis, grounded by strong performances and a clear-eyed refusal to romanticize the desperation that drives ordinary people to crime. Go to Full Review Louis Skye (Ronita Roy Mohan) Stereo Geeks (Podcast) Sep 14
It’s those little things that made Little Lorraine keep me staring up at the screen. As well as the breadth of characters around the three miners. The film builds out the entire world. Everybody matters. The wives have important roles beyond being wives. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
