Review of Salmon Fishing in the Yemen (2012) by Stephen E — 11 Aug 2012
Due to the solid performances from it's two leads (Emily Blunt and Ewan McGregor), "Salmon Fishing in the Yemen" is a quirky little film. As the sport of Salmon fishing is not allowed/impossible in the "Yemen," there has been speculation on letting rivers run through the desert, in order for people to fish globally.
It is a simple story accented with amazing scenery, great acting, and some stunning underwater visuals. Most of the time I felt like I was watching a series of short films that were linked together, because I felt like there was not enough development anywhere in the film.
People are motivated to do things and that is where the movie takes off. The chemistry is great and that is what sold me. This film is very average in my opinion, but it was a nice watch once.
