Very well executed

Inclubabu

Plot so thin, it passes unnoticed.

Matialth

Good concept, poorly executed.

Brooklynn

There's a more than satisfactory amount of boom-boom in the movie's trim running time.

There's a decadent fantasy here and the audience might just want to relate or vicariously share the main character's enjoyment of his power. And the film is also just original and quirky enough that I was tempted to go up to eight stars. However, it's also a bit messy and at times unsavory and, well, just isn't going for eight starts. It set out to be a full-value, I-am-what-I-am, dirty-secret seven.

Delightfully disturbing examination of human fragility that questions sanity, compassion and self-absorption . The 'sci-fi' vehicle gives a wonderful scope for all the main characters to express their individual pecadillos whilst opening up more global issues . Plenty of humour and pathos and a total lack of schmaltzy sentimentality raise this above the regular propaganda and into a truly thought provoking piece. Excellent acting , mood and score just add to a novel and well expressed plot. A joy to watch.

Wow! Only three reviews for such a terrific movie. I'm shocked an dismayed that subtitles are such a turn-off.LFO (an abbreviation for Low Frequency Oscillation) is wonderful, claustrophobic tale of a man who discovers the exact frequencies needed to hypnotize and ultimately control people (including himself). It was reminiscent of Sound of Noise (2010) in its oddness and its relationship with music (of a sort) as a means to telling a story.(Almost) the entire movie takes place in Robert's house, and it's wonderful to see how such scenery can be used to great effect and actually add to the cold, emotionless claustrophobic feeling this movie exudes.The things that Robert does are truly awful, but it's hard not to feel a certain glee as he never gets caught and his newfound superpowers make him omnipotent in a world where he was previously impotent.

I just watched LFO yesterday, and boy was I satisfied. At the time of writing this review there were only two other user reviews - which I agree with; this Sci-Fi film is dark, comedic, serious, and a tad psychologically disturbing at times (not so much that I would tell anyone to stay away). I wouldn't really consider this a dark comedy despite its comedic moments, since I felt a more serious tone to the movie.I think the plot is well described and the other reviews encompass a lot of what I feel so I'm not going to elaborate on any of those. I really just want to say that I gave LFO a 7 because that is what I feel most people would agree with, but after viewing it I personally feel it's an 8. It kept my attention while I was trying to determine the fate of Robert, Simon, and Clara, but I walked away from this movie feeling as though I was hypnotized myself. I couldn't stop thinking about LFO for a good hour after completion, which typically wins me over.Watch this movie. Hopefully it's still on Netflix when you read this review, but it's totally worth paying for.
