Review of The Dry (2021) by Anthony Lane for The New Yorker — 17 May 2021
The plot of The Dry, it has to be said, is not a model of elegance and plausibility. I sniffed out the villain, who barely merits the description, a fair way off, and the dénouement, though it involves the threat of fire-starting, is the dampest of squibs.
Yet the film has serious staying power.
