Lost Bayou

This movie was haunting and beautiful. It is a tale of grief, mysticism and prodigal children. Wayward, addicted child returns to her father who is not doing well, mentally. She is trying to cope with the emotional black hole of having had her baby removed from her custody. The woman and father begin to renew their relationship and she learns some surprising things are taking place in and around the home. They meet a stranger in their journey, and the plot thickens. Could this stranger be the key to unlocking a mystery that surrounds them? This is an unforgettable character study, as well. It is deep, emotional, and slow-moving. If you require a fast pace and jump scares, this is not for you.

Being someone that spends LOTS of time in the Atchafalaya Basin you come across lots of different people with many different life stories. This film portrays that perfectly. The accents, scenery, quality of life and the mystery of the Basin is perfectly portrayed in the film. Whoever cast this film was an absolute genius. It was NOT a usual hollywood "take a pis$ on Louisiana" film. This film truly dove deep into one facet of life in the Bayou. I have a camp in the Basin and spend lots of time there amongst the wildlife and wilderness of the very place this film was made. It was filmed in the very places that I choose to spend time. That film could have been about the very people I know and love. There were moments in the film I connected with.

FANTASIC JOB LOST BAYOU FILM CREW. You made me cry

This film really touches the heart and lets its characters breathe and reveal their hidden pain and secrets. The dream visuals in Cajun French are absolutely beautiful and profound. An absolute must-see that I hope wins many more awards.

Slow-paced drama between father and daughter. Takes place on run-down houseboat on Louisiana Swamp. Not picturesque. Only two main characters. Excellent narrative structure, good resolutions. I liked how it all wrapped up at the end.

They say a freshly fired man thought of this movies plot as he left the Chrysler building with his desk. Not true. But whoever designed this world made leprosy hangovers a real thing. Timothy crane.
