Twisty Gem of a Noir
4 June 2023
No Way To Live is a surprise: a sweet, sick one.

Paying homage to classic noirs, this indie gem also has a sly voice of its own. As the story spirals, there are some neat cinematic flourishes sprinkled throughout that almost wink at the audience a bit. Like, "Hey, can you believe how lurid this $hi! Is getting?"

It's hard to make things look good on a limited budget and it's damn near impossible to capture another period (here, the 1950s) with little money, but the filmmakers do just that. I can't wait to see what they come up with next.

Performances are strong all around, particularly Freya Tingley.

Give this movie a shot. A real one. Put your phone down and stick around for at least half an hour. You'll be rewarded by the ride.
