Review of Beside Still Waters (2014) by Larissa A — 30 Nov 2014

This film is beautiful. It's simple but yet brings forward so many complicated feelings. Nostalgia for things to be the way they can never be again, the desire for relationships that have been long gone, the love you have for your family and friends. Like all these things it will make you laugh and cry.

In his writing and directorial debut Chris Lowell NAILS IT. Beautifully shot and written, you can tell that this was a labour of love. That is the only way all this would come across so perfectly. I really look forward to what lies ahead for Lowell and his writing partner Mohit Narang in the future.

The cast here is full of faces you may recognize from one place or another. They are all great, understated in a way that jumps off the screen. You would think these are people that have gone through all these things together their chemistry is apparent as soon at they are all on screen.

So watch this movie (then maybe watch it again like I did) you will be glad you did.
