All Creatures Here Below presents as the story of two young lovers going on the lam after they both commit very definitely illegal acts that push an audience to the limits of empathy. As they progress literally and figuratively one poor decision leads to another and as the stakes get higher the decisions get worse. It’s a fairly well trodden road (trip movie) and the threat of not making it to the end comes as much from our protagonists as it does their situation. Spurned into action due to poverty it’s a theme that keeps re-emerging, Ruby (Karen Gillan) and Gensen (David Dastmalchian) live just on the edge of nothingness in every sense, and whilst Ruby may be too naïve to see it, Gensen has enough fury for the both of them.
