We Are Boats

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.

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 film comes off as one of those ones that provides everything that an audience needs but a deeper dive shows that this film could have been a lot better if the promotions actually focused on the film and the personal lifestyles of the cast and crew. And I don't get me wrong there's nothing wrong with , choosing what you feel is a better lifestyle but when overall it becomes the highlight in greater than the movie versus actual the actual movie, that's where problem come in. The movie was was decent. Kudos to the cast and crew for their amazing feet as a production, but I think that overshadowed the actual film, and took away from the movie in general almost becoming a distraction.

We are Boats - based on the Autosub named by the internet, played by Angela Sarafyan as Boaty McBoatface. Riveting story about how deep down inside we are all just boats. Sometimes we float, sometimes we sink but at the end of the day we're mostly just bits of metal, wood and floating around aimlessly in the water until eventually a typhoon sends us crashing into the rocks and we die.

9/10 recommend it highly.

I actually had no idea what this movie was about when I started watching it. However, it managed to grab my attention quickly and I was pleased that I kept watching. It's not a Hollywood blockbuster, but the cast delivers an honest performance, realistic enough to make it relatable. I absolutely loved the cast, I thought they worked well together. Give this movie a chance.
