Stillwater

Amazing story of a father, going to France to visit with his daughter, who has been (he believes) wrongly imprisoned for killing a friend. Staggeringly good acting by Matt Damon, playing against type, as the inarticulate, poorly educated, blue-collar worker, out of his depth in a foreign country, but committed to helping his daughter, regardless.

Shows just how alien France can seem to a non-French-speaking American, not understanding the culture or the issues. Beautifully dramatised, with grit and heart, inching forward to a final denouement. Don't miss the final line of dialogue from Matt... it completely reveals his journey. Delightful acting from the french actress who becomes his friend, and her daughter Maya, who brings out his genuinely caring side.

Although it's a little slow at times, I found it deeply satisfying - another tour-de-force from Tom McCarthy.

It was a good movie, its long true but not necessarily boring this is why always watch at the theaters, not for everyone, great performance by Matt Damon AW worthy ? Maybe. Also dont forget Maya she stole the show.

...an adult drama.

You just don't see this kind of movie in theaters anymore. Incredible acting makes this well worth seeing. Damon plays against type as a roughneck looking to free his daughter from a Paris prison.

Not an action movie but a deliberately paced drama, this is not Jason Bourne.

This is a deeply engaging film. The plot and the characters draw you in. Matt Damon is very good in this. I enjoyed it a lot.

I was expecting more action as this was categorised as a thriller/drama/crime. And being used to seeing Matt Damon in the Jason Bourne role, I expected more on the thriller side. However, there was much more on the drama side and exploring the different relationships between the main characters and how they develop. Matt Damon was great in his role and really carried the film. The child co-star, French little girl and her mother were great too! I honestly didn't care for the girl who's criminal case the film revolves around. I didn't find her likeable in the slightest. Overall the film was watchable and engaging despite being slow paced, and you become really invested in the main characters. Happy and sad ending at the same time. Worth a watch.
