Review of The Shallows (2016) by Peter Hartlaub for San Francisco Chronicle — 22 Jun 2016
The Shallows is a very earnest woman-versus-shark film. It delivers the requisite thrills, including a surprisingly satisfying resolution. The heroine is capable; and the writers, who trap her on a rock for half the film, find ways to make her situation seem interesting.
But the most important parts, the ones involving the shark, don’t feel genuine.
