Different type of movie. Must see

Invoice glad I came across this movie. With everything going on right now with the border issues, this was great timing. This film is about a man who's really good with getting people across the border to the USA by boat. He develops issues with a drug cartel who. Some into his area creating problems. The movie is slow for a while then it gets good. Things gets really good and the movie takes off from there. Loved the way they ended it. Must see

Great, meaningful tale

I thought the story was very well developed and set in a perefectly chosen location. Plus it takes its time to unfold and there is an interesting twist! Those landscapes and all the sets absolutely work in setting the tone and the ambiance. The main character is very deep the actor's interpretation feels real and profonde. A truely broken man. In fact the casting is perfect and the acting is flawless. As a filmmaker I thought the look of the movie was a real success. I loved the color grading which I thought totally matched the story.

If you like thrillers this story is for you.

It is a mystical thriller about a strong man, human smuggling issues and suspenseful story. It is also about current social issues. I like the camera work and editing. I think it is beautiful. The lead actor, Oscar Torre, gives a convincing, excellent performance. The director did a very good job.

Really well made indie film!

This is a really well made independent feature. It proves that you don't need a huge budget to make a decent film, these filmmakers clearly have vision and passion for the world they are creating. Check this out!

A gem of a film

This film was such a nice surprise! I watched the trailer and thought why not give it a spin... I'm glad I did. I was very impressed as to this film's quality. I thought the story was terrific and so timely with everything going with human trafficking and the drug cartels. I really liked the lead male actor. I thought he was really good. I enjoyed the rest of cast too, but for me he really stood out. So "The Boatman" gets a thumbs up from me!!

Anecdotes
To judge from the fact that Proserpina's (Yvonne DeLaRosa) knife is terribly dull and by the way she cuts the lemon wedges, it's clear that she has no idea how to cut fruit for her bar. This could point to her having inherited the motel and bar or having bought it without knowing much about the business she was getting into by purchasing it. It's a subtle way of filling in her character by either the actress or the director.
