We Are Boats

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.

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!!!

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.

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.

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.
