We Are Boats

Where to start? The movie starts off already grasping my interest with asking the W's. It leads in to different characters going through their own difficult situations yet somehow they all connect. This film has a little bit of everything between family, friends, death, romance, etc and left me with puffy eyes from ugly crying. An absolute must watch!!!

OK, so there is no editor attribution here. Why? Probably because the writer-director did it himself, or the editor didn't agree with the director's choices. The cuts were way too long, offering not enough story to have them that long. Main actress was solid as so was most every other cast except the bartender. The writing seemed a fit for Lifetime TV. I cannot see how it why this film has such a high rating. It isn't often I find poor titles on HBO, but yes, here it is.

The theme is far to be new . The guide for afterlife is a character maybe to familiar. The subject is seductive and fascinating and that makes it a good option for a director. In this case, the term correct works fine. Delicacy and poetry and Graham Green are the good pieces for a nice work. So, not great but beautiful. For correctness first.

Seriously, read the LA times review. I agree, it is a muddled mess. It is Lifetime ,movie level attempt at metaphysics, and frankly, lead by actors/actresses who can't act. As Variety mentions the press notes for this film don't lead with the setting, plot notes, etc, but led with the following: *"first completely vegan set." * The cast is 50% female and 41% people of color, with a 45% women crew.

Oh wow, virtual signaling is bad enough but that is really really pitiful. No wonder all the major outlets did not pick this up and it ended up free on Vimeo. It is idi otic. simple minded, has laughable cringe worth script and delivery, and beyond tedious.

This is a long long boring journey towards, well honestly i dont know, and i couldnt find the meaning of this expressionistic piece of movie art, with dull actors, dull story, bad camerawork and so on.and an essence that are so obscured that you may start to think are they stupid or is it just me....
