Low Down

United StatesDrama1 Hour 55 Mins

Based on Amy-Jo Albany’s memoir, Low Down is a compassionate look at the complex relationship between Amy-Jo (Elle Fanning) and her father Joe (John Hawkes), a man torn between his musical ambition, his devotion to his teenage daughter, and his suffocating heroin addiction. Set against a sensuously textured 1970s Hollywood, the film evokes a colorful, seedy world of struggling musicians and vagabonds, in which Joe and Amy-Jo strive to live the lives they want against insurmountable odds.
