    Boats and John Heard…Scary!

    Great film at the New Hampshire Film Festival. I'm still getting the kinks out of my neck. :)

    So INTENSE and RIVITING! Best acting I have seen from John Heard in quite some time and the other guy was fantastic. Great short film.

    It has this very eerie quality to it. You are not quite sure who the bad guy is until the end. I won't spoil it.

    A lot of nice twists.

    Great actors do the simplest uncomfortable thing in a movie it can be so effective. I think less is more. This movie is so simple but also very effective.

    It'd be interesting to see where this could go as a feature film. That would be a cool indie feature!

    10 stars all the way! If you can get your hands on it check it out! Surratt is an up and commer people should look out for.

    Best Short Ever!

    I already wrote this in the message board but I wanted to write a review because this movie is so rad! As my subtext says....this film is nothing but great. Wish smart wonderful acting and storyline..

    i was expecting more melodrama...but it did not go there.

    It was well calculated and a VERY interesting ride of story acting and and a twist that makes the short film genre completely take notice! Oh they should that is.. this is truly the best short i have seen in the past 12 years of being in LA.

    So do yourself a favor and go see this film in the next film festival it plays in.

    I friggin love this movie!!!

    I saw this at a film festival and it was AWESOME!

    Best independent film I have seen in the last 5 years.

    It kept me guessing too. I don't want to ruin anything but there are a lot of twists.

    I really liked the writing and I think the acting is great as well. There is a really interesting undercurrent in this film about what the cost of revenge is.

    It reminded me of "Knife in the water" by Roman Polanski meets Memento.

    Is this gonna be made into a feature?

    I wanted to know more about the characters and see where the story goes. I hope so!

    Totally worth checkin' out!

    What a ride!!!

    This movie got me from the start. The twist and turns in this movie feel like your on a roller coaster. The actor in this reminds me of John Travolta...specifically in Phenomenon. John Heard is fantastic and very intense. You will never believe the ending. There were some beautiful shots in this film. Great original music. At one point I fell off my seat(not kidding). The cast in this film are very believable. I could tell that the actors were always "there". I forgot I was watching a movie after the first couple minutes because of the intensity and great story. I wanted this film to never end, Really enjoyed the ride on this one. This film would make a great feature.

    A Spectacular Short Film

    Rarely there has been a movie with such a good dark and chilling atmosphere. I even see this movie more as an horror movie than as a thriller because of that. "Buoyancy" is unique in many ways. The movies mood is already set right from the beginning on. The movie starts dark, intense, chilling and mysterious, a mood that is present throughout the entire movie. The mood is set by good camera work and lighting, or better said, the lack of it. The music from acclaimed composer Gareth Coker also adds to the chilling atmosphere.

    Unlike many other movies from the same genre, the movie is slow paced and takes it time to develop the characters without falling into some obvious cliché's. The movie is filled with a seriously sickening torture scene, this seriously ain't no kids stuff! Dark and chilling movie that you will never forget also thanks to the ending which I will not spoil for you. A real must see. 10/10
