Emily Watson's visceral look at a shallow story
15 November 2022
The viscerality of life is an inhabitant of the small corners of the world. In a meeting between the sea, the fog and the scarcity of a small town, Saela Davis and Anna Rose Holmer set the mood of the story.

The mystery captivates and at the same time disturbs, raising several questions about the dynamics between Watson's character and her son, played by Paul Mescal. As in the trailer, the sea swallows the plot in a failed attempt to take the audience deeper into the pains and other feelings displayed in the story.

In the end, we have a (almost) silent film starring Emily Watson's visceral gaze, but which, as the narrative unfolds, doesn't leave superficiality.
