LifeHack — Review

Ronan Corrigan’s directorial debut, LifeHack, might just be the biggest surprise of the year for me. After seeing so many heist films over the years, it’s easy for new entries in the genre to feel stale or forgettable. Likewise, after a wave of recent screenlife films, the format itself no longer feels like a particularly novel concept. So surely a screenlife heist movie would, in theory, feel like a tired combination rather than something fresh or exciting, right? Instead, shifting the heist film into the digital world breathes new life into both genres, resulting in a shockingly riveting cinematic experience.
