About This Movie

Laws of Gravity is this gritty slice-of-life piece from the early '90s that gives you a raw look into the lives of two aimless guys in Brooklyn. The film has a really rough edge, you can feel the weight of their poor decisions almost suffocating them. Nick Gomez directs with a kind of urgency that matches the frantic pacing of the characters' spiraling lives. The themes of desperation and chaos are amplified by the practical effects, particularly during the tense moments involving the guns. Performances are pretty compelling too, capturing that mix of bravado and vulnerability. It's distinctly a product of its time, yet it hits on some universal truths about bad choices and the consequences that follow. Just a solid, no-frills dive into a world that feels all too real.
