Very beautiful backdrops.. that is NO doubt.. But right away you have this one pretty much figured out as the director relys on old cliches to build this film..
I am not saying its not worthy of watching.. it is..just dont expect to be blown away with originality... Its a decent film but I chose not to add this to my home library.

Excellent. from any aspect... story, environment, nature, acting, cinematography, directing, editing, soundtrack, ... sensitive to nuances, does not overload the viewer with extra gestures or explanations, sincere, ... simply - good movie, and a rare one in it.
The Lighthouse of the Orcas (2016) is a beautifully done movie that treats the subjects of autism and man's relationship to orcas with a deft touch.

I'm always on the lookout for those smaller budget movies that have characters worth caring about, beautiful cinematography, haunting music and a story that matters. This movie ticks all those boxes.
Everything about it was authentic and genuine. The music score blended in so well with the isolated and stunning landscape.
Highly recommended for people who like similar.

...in Patagonia. a mother. her son. a stranger. and a cure. the whales. and a beautiful state of soul. because it is one of rare films escaping to definitions. it is well acted, it has a beautiful script and a provocative subject. short, it is one of trip - films . not only in a magnificent region of Argentina but in the middle of feelings, emotions, expectations, hopes and transformation, step by step, for each character. in the point when the viewer becomes one of them. short, an admirable work. about basic, fundamental things.about forms of solitude. and about future.and, sure, about a meet changing everything.
