Although it won’t be to all tastes, audiences open to a different sort of world cinema that repays careful attention should find it a stimulating and imaginative work.

“Drowning Dry” is an absorbing and intensely conceived story that acutely dramatizes the difficulty of overcoming a sudden loss.

Hey, Have You Seen ...?

It’s okay to give yourself to the film’s odd rhythm because that sense of confusion you feel is purposeful. These are fallible people dealing with internal doubts while striving to stay afloat.

Rated: 7/10

The structure will jar with many viewers. And that’s probably for the better, since tragedy too jars those who it pesters.

“Drowning Dry” (2024) is what “Final Destination” would be if it was a meditative drama without the jump scare gimmicks or cheap thrills. Director and writer Laurynas Bareisa is not suffering from a sophomore slump.
