Still the Water

This movie was a frustrating watch. Everyone is angry at one another from the start and you don't know as we the audience slowly and painfully gets answers which never seems to justify why everyone feels the way they feel. The acting is poor around. The hockey scenes are so poorly done I sort of wish they were left out altogether.

On the bright side, the movie looks great.

Good photography and music... too much of a story to pack into an hour and a half. Acting was not bad considering the characters were underdeveloped ... which in turn made everything disjointed. Would have make a good series with flashbacks playing a heavy part. The ending thrown together here... was rather silly and unfulfilling.

Still the Water, a Canadian independent film written and directed by Susan Rodgers, is a really compelling drama that weaves together a number of storylines: family conflict, sports, romance/lost love, regret, and so many more topics.

I really appreciate the music, all of the parts of the score fit the movie very well. The actors really drove the movie forward and kept the story moving.

I also really loved the scenery and cinematography, showing the sweeping shots of the small town as the characters move through it, almost making the town its own character in the film.

Really well done! Check this one out!

I've decided to watch it because I live on PEI. This is a first movie for Susan Rogers, and I hope the second one will be better. As other people said, it is not easy to get what is going on, too many unnecessary accents with other things missing. On positive note - beautiful views, lovely music.

This is exactly what an 'indie' film should be. Beautiful photography, incredible location, deep and emotional writing and understated performances.

There's a lot of talent on view here.

Highly recommended.
