3/4
There's an earnestness and a fundamental truth to this familial saga-as well as an appealing, low-budget scrappiness-that consistently make it hum. Go to Full Review Rafer Guzman Newsday 05/12/2017
2/4
A well-intentioned but superficial story about a deep-rooted Hispanic subculture. Go to Full Review Elizabeth Weitzman TheWrap 05/11/2017
Mexican-American culture isn't merely draped over the story as an added element but woven throughout with a casual practicality that respects both the primary characters and their shot-on-location East L.A. setting. Go to Full Review Louisa Moore Screen Zealots 12/20/2018
3.5/5
The script is balanced by earnest performances and an engaging look into a culture that's grossly underrepresented onscreen. Go to Full Review Josh Terry Deseret News (Salt Lake City) 05/19/2017
2.5/4
Lowriders has a lot of thoughtful parts that don't quite mesh into a coherent whole. Go to Full Review Jon Espino The Young Folks 05/16/2017
7/10
Lowriders exudes passion from the cast and everyone involved, and the final result is a passion project that is both poignant and socially relevant despite its many flaws. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Omar P @RT60811163 12/18/2024 For people like myself that is involved in culture of low riding and who is Latino / Chicano this was a very big deal for my people, because we are finally being represented on the big screen. It gives a point of view from three different people and a story that happens every day and that is true to life. I think the movie was phenomenal and I'm happy that my people are being represented on the big screen. See more farah r @Farah 10/27/2018 The only reason I watched this movie until the end is because of Eva Longoria's acting. This has got to be her most earnest performance to date. Lowriders I found to be uninteresting. See more 02/24/2018 Good movie. Always loved watching low riders passing by mi casa and bumping goodies oldies. See more 01/07/2018 Excellent movie. Completely different then what I was expecting. In the times of Fast and Furious films, nice to see a film with a different outlook on thing. Script was very good. See more 12/16/2017 Loved it! A must see!! See more 10/21/2017 The most under rated movie ever. I was hesitant because of the critics but went ahead. The movie suck you in from the very beginning until the end. Great photography, scenography, acting and not a dull moment. Last time a movie suck me in like this was Gladiator See more Read all reviews
