Review of The Lifeguard (2013) by Borhan K — 09 Mar 2014
The Lifeguard is a story about a writer that is going through a 30's midlife crisis and comes back home with her parents to attempt to find herself.
The movie hits on topics such as teen sex with older partners and not the legal kind also it hits another big issue about youth suicide a much more hard raw look at this issue. The movie deals with depression and all that comes with it the uncertainty the non committal attitude and much much more.
This is no walk in the park smelling the roses film.
I think its a good movie that touches on topics that are important but really only touches the surface on these topics does not really drive any hard line home truths.
Funnily enough the lifeguard gets her shit together with 20mins of the film to go and goes back to the city to continue her life as a writer.
Like I said this aint no walk in the park and definitely not for the kiddies.
For me this is a one off movie.
THe cast play their roles well but it looks like there all depressed like the whole town is under the depression spell.
When you watch this flick its like a heart monitor that is all the way through flat-line and never comes up.
