I was a little disappointed to say the least when I finished this. It was almost like watching an ABC after School Special on "sticking to your principals".
This has shades of the Salem Witch Trials all through it. Not the witches part obviously but the the town frenzy aspect and the few who are shunned and judged wrong regardless of obvious evidence. The town morons who are just too stupid to think for themselves and so the town hierarchy speak for em and they believe every word they say.
If this would have went in another direction, like say, half-way through they were to fast forward a year and see the results of the tourist season at the spa to see the outcome of the "bad water" then I would have liked this or at least respected it a little more. But as it is and was left to us, I can certainly see why this a a forgotten Mcqueen film. It was just a little over dramatic for my taste.
If you like plays, as this obviously was, and you enjoy a lot of talking and some over-acting thrown in, then this one's for you.
