The Little Death is a truly original comedy about sex, love, relationships and taboo. In a multi story narrative, we peer behind the closed doors of a seemingly normal suburban street. A woman with a dangerous fantasy and her partners struggle to please her. A man who begins an affair with his own wife without her knowing anything about it. A couple struggling to keep things together after a sexual experiment spins out of control. A woman who can only find pleasure in her husband's pain. A call centre operator caught in the middle of a dirty and chaotic phone call. And the distractingly charming new neighbour who connects them all. The little Death explores why do we want what we want? How far will we go to get it? What are the consequences of that fleeting moment of sexual ecstasy?

| Reel Film ReviewsDavid Nusair...morphs from very good to instant classic in its final stretch... |
| AV ClubMike D'AngeloThe Little Death never feels remotely of a piece, and is likely to find its proper audience months from now when the individual sketches show up on YouTube. |
| The Sun (UK)Grant RollingsWhat prevents such risque material becoming a turn-off is the injection of genuine love into each tale. |
| Associated PressJake CoyleFrequently funny and sometimes perhaps offensive in the darkness of its humor. |
| Hollywood ReporterMegan LehmannIt's quite a trick Lawson has pulled off, creating a film that's as genuinely sweet as it is borderline offensive, and funny throughout. |
| GuardianLeslie FelperinThe set-up is a bit like that old Woody Allen's farce Everything You Always Wanted to Know About Sex crossed with Love Actually, though it's better than either because there's a disarming depth and poignancy here as well. |
| TrespassAlex DoenauThe Little Death is just a mostly laughless tour of unlikeable, depressive suburbanites. |
| ScreenwizeSimon WeavingA loveable, clever and feel-good film despite the fragmented structure. |
| Moveable FestStephen SaitoWhat will likely make "The Little Death" more resonant is how organically funny it is, smuggling in bits of truth about the ways we hide our true selves from one another amidst a sea of well-conceived and executed comic set-ups. |
| Movies.comJohn GholsonErin James and T.J. Power get the least amount of screen time of all the couples in the anthology sex farce The Little Death, but they create the most lasting impression. |
