Aquarians

More films like this one would get me off the couch and back to the cinema.

Lovely acting set in a community that feels so very real (if not a wee bit romanticized.)

There is an element of subdued magic realism in the film that finally blossoms into something like faith.

All adults will gain something by watching this film.

This movie is not exceptionally bad from the point of musical maintenance and visual composition. In general sense plot is also good enough, but it overfilled with boring moments not capturing attention, so it is somehow hard to continue watching after first few minutes. I would not recommend this movie for the sake of better ones.

While the overall story line may be compelling and have it's value, I really don't understand why these movies ALWAYS portray the Catholic church in such a bad light AND don't even take the time to have some authenticity in what they portray. DEACONS CANNOT SAY MASS, only a priest can do that. Something any idiot could figure out if they just bothered to ask.

A thoughtful, compelling drama that is strongly directed, insightfully written, and well cast. AQUARIANS is an enriching, personal narrative that deeply encourages personal reflection. I wholeheartedly recommend!

Aquarians is a legitimately well made independent film. I gave it a shot due to its quality film festival pedigree and I was rewarded with its honest filmmaking. The story centers on two brothers in a snowy Wisconsin town. These brothers appear to have gone in opposite directions in their lives -- one is about to become a priest and the other is a recluse who sells pot. Aquarians reunites these brothers and we witness them grapple with their differences, their futures, as well as come to terms with past tragedy. For me, the film was worth watching just for the pretty snowy midwestern landscapes, but the story and its deft handling are why we watch little indie finds like this. Give Aquarians a watch.
