Review of Stranger by the Lake (2013) by Jeffrey B — 09 Feb 2014
'Stranger by the Lake'. Might have enjoyed it if the ratio of suspense to male genitalia was reversed.
I appreciated the stillness in the direction, the long takes, the cruising sub-culture, the action taking place in only one location, the repetition, the symbolism and juxtaposition of the detached, carnal acts with nature.
Was so much hardcore sex required to make a point? The high-point is that long take of the drowning. Everything before that piked curiosity. Afterwards, it lost me until that tense final scene.
