(imdb) “You need only see Get Low for absolute proof that, while Hollywood may be in decline even as bad actors’ salaries climb ever higher, there remain at least three very exemplary reasons – Duvall, Spacek and Murray – to switch off your home theatre and get out into a real one.” Mark Savlov – Austin Chronicle
