MORE SPOILER-FREE MINI-REVIEWS @ https://www.msbreviews.com/movie-reviews/mini-reviews-2022-edition/
"Lou focuses on an admittedly generic kidnapping story, but Allison Janney and Jurnee Smollett's incredibly captivating performances tremendously elevate the formulaic screenplay.
Given the lack of advertising and the low budget, Michael McDonough's cinematography exceeds expectations, providing a much more interesting viewing due to the excellent control of the camera and the surrounding environment. The clean editing helps with the few yet violent fight sequences in a film driven by the two protagonists and their respective arcs.
The third act risks it all by "toying" with the audience's intellect, but it's still a decent watch."
