Some Southern Waters

This is one heck of a terrific film! I loved the story and the film's look! Visually it was really good! The actors were wonderful! They were very solid, all of them! The ending surprised me! Normally I do a good job jumping ahead but not this time. Well done folks, great job!! A thumbs up from me on this one!!

This film takes you a wild ride of genres and storylines. Well scripted and acted, the black and white genre should not keep you for giving this film a watch. It is a compelling and very watchable film for those who like and interesting and diverse film. I recommend.

Some Southern Waters is a trip, it's hard to describe the films plot as it is often difficult to know what exactly is real and what is not. The film follows Jon a musician who after the death of his girlfriend is haunted by his memories and surreal moments and experiences that echo back to that traumatic event. The film will not give you straight answers, it challenges you to interpret it the way you see fit. The film is shot in beautiful black and white and to say the cinematography is stunning would be a huge understatement. In fact the look of this film is worth the price of admission alone. Absolutely this is a Lynchian style film and I was reminded of that Directors best work while watching this, but also Hitchcock and Jim Jarmusch. Truly a unique experience which for me is the definition of what cinema should be. A reminder that cinema can and should be an art form.

Like some other reviewers stated the film is very beautifully shot.

A shame that apart from that it's a rather incompetent mix of various surreal movies (of which David Lynch is the most prominent). Acting is also very amateurish.

Wow. found this film by chance, this film had so much going on. brought me back to the old 90's joy of finding a masterpiece on IFC at 2 in the morning... the lead actress was fascinating, the lead actor relatable, and the story simple and so surreal, chasing mermaids, and of course one of my favorite Sea Shanty's . that alone is enough for me to come back for another round. a fine no budget indie film.
