Very Funny

I had the opportunity to see "SALTWATER" during this years Berlin Film Festival (Berlinale) and I really liked it a lot. It was so much fun, packed with good ideas and fine acting. I hope the fact, that the theater was packed and the crowd was relly excited will help this great movie to make it´s way to cinemas all over the world. I think this was one of the few highlights in a not too good festival. Watch it!

Above average

Not a lot happens. Plot is thin but McPherson spreads it out nicely.

A nicely controlled and very competent debut feature. Manages to get beneath the skin of the script and make us feel for the piece. At times film transcends script and becomes something else entirely. Unfortunately it's all somewhat marred by McPherson taking it as read that viewer will understand more than he's telling us - eg What exactly was relationships between all male characters. Understand 2 were brothers but who exactly was blondie puke boy? Nice cast. Not sure what they were all doing in such a small movie which didn't quite transcend it's smallness.

Ending felt somewhat tacked on.

actually liked the disjointed aspect

I enjoyed the way the film seemed to start the story a way into it. So often H'wood flicks hand feed you the story line, grossly pointing out every little plot point and character trait. I found the fact that every character wasn't well explained and that it almost felt like i was watching this family as a neighbor not knowing the whole story but finding it interesting nonetheless. I commented when i walked out that i felt the filmmaker respected my intelligence and ability to follow along. Some VERY funny moments and well worth the time.

Interesting and different film

You wouldn't have thought a film about an Irish chip shop having money troubles would make such a great film, this is a mini classic if I have seen one.

Great work and it is well deserved.

You'll laugh a lot and you'll probably be shocked at some parts also.
