Review of Dark River (2017) by Daniloud Y — 13 Oct 2018

As for the first act, the film tries to convey a plot that does not fulfill a "subtextual" function, but trying to present the harsh and raw rural life as most independent films filmed adrift of forests have wanted along of the years; from that point there is nothing to tie up to convince the public to continue hooked, in addition stereotype models that are handled on animals and inexistent farm qualities gain weight in a disastrous first act.

Then from the plot-point onwards, a family drama is best handled, which begins to produce excellent performances that move a fantastic story, convincing and raw. It also occupies a "snowball" system, acomulating and compiling an internal trauma, thus causing the main and internal conflicts to connect with a third act that leaves much to be desired. 3/5.
