The Little Death

The Little Death is currently streaming in Australia on Lionsgate+ Amazon Channels, and in the US on Amazon Prime Video and Philo, and it delivers exactly the kind of comedy that earns a loyal following. The runtime earns every minute, with nothing here that feels like padding. With 537 viewer ratings on TMDB, this is not a title flying under the radar. Josh Lawson is the obvious draw, but the whole ensemble earns its laughs. Start it on Lionsgate+ Amazon Channels whenever you need something guaranteed to land.

Part of the current wave of titles people are actually watching, The Little Death earns its spot. The Little Death gets the fundamentals right first, then finds room to get weird with it. A comedy film that looks into the loosely connected lives of people with strange sexual fantasies. Josh Lawson and Bojana Novaković lead a cast that brings real weight to the material. It was released in 2014. What keeps The Little Death from feeling disposable is a cast that clearly understands the material better than the format usually demands. It knows exactly what it is, and does not try to be anything else.

If you need a comedy that actually makes you laugh, The Little Death is a strong candidate. It does not lean on comparisons to make its case. Short enough to finish in one sitting, substantial enough to feel satisfying. Josh Lawson is funny in a way that holds up on rewatch. Put it on when you need something guaranteed to land.
