Review of Undertow (1996) by Joseph M — 11 Dec 2004

Just as David Gordon Green did last year with "All the Real Girls", he has created a film unlike anything anyone has ever seen before. Everything down to the look and the cinematography and the editing and the score and, of course the dialogue, is fresh and pure and as real as anything ever.

Though this film is a big departure from his last, you can stil watch it and in the first minute identify that it is a David Gordon Green film. "Undertow" now confirms Green a force to be reckoned with in the cinematic world and also confirms that for the 3rd time he has made my 10 best of the year list.

.and it is very high up there. This is a movie to get out and desperately search for, though most might find it unsettling.
