One Winter Story

I have to disagree with the other reviewer. I got all the hype about a surfer overcoming the wave, a woman overcoming her social constraints, or perhaps a short film overcoming it's indie limitations. Unfortunately, this self-absorbed drivel like so many indie films, is more about nameless "artistic" filmmakers indulging in touting their personal interests to an irrelevant audience. What social bearing does someone's infatuation with surfing have for the rest of us? What significance does this film have in today's world of financial disaster? Only that not all of us can afford to spend our time peddling around on a surfboard. Or, for that matter, make a pointless movie about it.

The whole film just came across as self-absorbed and congratulatory. Yes, the first woman to ride such and such wave may have some historical significance - for example, in the Guinness Book of World Records. There were no exciting moments in this film, no instances of danger for example, where the audience must anticipate this woman's success.

Bottom Line: WHO CARES?!?
