Between Waves

The movie was just awful, long, slow, boring. Characters I did not like, storyline was a mess, dialogue non-existent, struggling to find something appealing about it but there is truly nothing. I kept watching, hoping for some explanation. Give it a miss.

Had a fun time watching this intriguing film, and how it pushes audiences to confront their "here and now." Intelligent and well-paced rather than the shoe-gazing so in vogue now. A shame to stream it on a little screen as the big screen would do it justice.

From the frozen north comes a low-budget indie with literal delusions of grandeur. Leaving aside for the moment the usual flurry of inevitable (and seemingly unavoidable) fake reviews, we will note with appreciation the memorable cinematography and the yeoman performance of Fiona Graham, who effectively builds a bridge with the audience and actually makes you care whether this hi-concept sci-fi melodrama ever takes flight and goes anywhere. On the other side of the ledger, we have the usual tropes associated with first-film efforts, including in this case a sound track so overbearing it will make you weep, and a main character (the missing husband, Issac, played by Luke Robinson) so unappealing you will subconsciously hope that he never returns from whatever parallel dimension he vanished into.

If you want to demonstrate awful acting to a class of film students, show them this film. I decided to watch it until the end, I might have masochistic tendencies, or maybe it was because I was mesmerised by the crapness. Either way, I feel less successful as a person because I did.

Also awful, the photography, script, direction...editing. But the acting...use it as an example to help others avoid the same shame.

Beautiful movie. Love underwater scene, directing, cinematography and colours. Writers manage to create clear and captivating plot.
