Seamonsters

This poignant film set in a drab, off-season, quintessentially English seaside town invites the viewer into a world inhabited by teenagers on the cusp of adulthood, with all the promise of adventure but with the pressure to grow up emotionally always present.

The action centres around to two mates - the well-adjusted, level-headed Sam (Jack McMullen) and his unpredictable chum Kieran (an extraordinarily compelling Reece Noi) who masks his shortcomings with acts of bravado and aggression.

When a girl drifts into their lives, sexual competition causes tension between the boys, culminating in an event which changes their lives.

With a beautifully-crafted script and hauntingly shot, this film is sensitive study of human relationships on many levels.

I saw this film because a friend had a copy as she worked on it making the costume as a summer job. It is nice to see great young actors in a film about falling in love for the first time. It was very beautiful film to look at and this was a a surprise because it was a film with very little money to spend. made me cry at the end. i hope it can be seen by more people. it is such a sweet and truthful movie. The place where it is taking place is very strange and I would like to go there. It is near Brighton. My friend tells me that the actor Reece Noi is now In Game Of Thrones which I also love. I hope more films like this get made. It is good to see a film about this age of people and remember what it was like to feel so alone sometimes but wanting your friends to like you and girls and boys to fall in love with you. My favorite actor in the film is the girl called Lori - she is very funny and authentic. you feel really sorry for her and her life with her mum.

Go see it! If you can!

If someone had told me i was going to the cinema to watch a movie portraying teen relationships, i would have asked for the sick bucket and skipped town. And i would have missed one of the best films – of any genre – that i've seen for ages.

Seamonsters has as much to offer cinematically as any sweeping epic. England's south coastline never looked so interesting, colourful or full of light since Constable. The script is taut and the dialogue so tense i had a lump in my throat the entire film. And i have not been this impressed by a group of young actors since Coppola's Outsiders.

This film is part thriller, part love story and in an odd way part documentary, for the realistic way it in which the character's lives are portrayed. Am so glad that i am all grown up now, would not want to live through that again.

I really enjoyed this independent film. I watched it on Amazon Prime. its very well acted, and the writing is excellent too. The cast is young and I don't know any of them but that makes it more involving. I think teenagers will enjoy this a lot. Its very moody and its about love. Though don't be pout off because it is all very yummy in parts. I really recommend it.

Loved this. Saw it because I know one of the actors. I am not being pushed to write this. but just wanted to share my review in the hope that more people see it. I believe it is coming out on Amazon prime soon. Do check it out. It's funny and moving and honest.
