Review of Wetlands (2013) by Michael L — 12 Sep 2014
Wonderfully directed and anchored by a pretty brilliant performance from Carla Juri, WETLANDS becomes the bourgeois reactionary film it so desperately doesn't want to be. The first 45 minutes is truly contemporary and almost mind blowing with its depiction of a young woman bent on celebrating her bodily functions.
But then a whole mama/papa back story sets in complete with divorce and attempted suicide. The film suddenly declares, "that's why she is that way!" And they even give her a pretty boy love interest.
For shame. Man up and have some guts folks.
