      Jennie Kermode Eye for Film Baner is definitely a director worth keeping an eye on, and where this particular effort is concerned, David Lynch should be flattered by the comparison. Rated: 4/5 Jan 29, 2021 Full Review Brian Shaer Film Threat ...a little ethereal, a little cerebral, and a lot peculiar. Rated: 8/10 Jan 4, 2021 Full Review Roger Moore Tribune News Service Strange and stylish...but the slim story's shortcomings and obscurant bent push this closer to the realm of "student film" than one would like. Rated: 2/4 Dec 25, 2020 Full Review Nathaniel Muir AIPT A surreal and creative story about love and loss. Emotional and filled with great camerawork. Dec 15, 2020 Full Review Read all reviews

      Audience Member This is art. Funny, terrifying, light, intense... and most of all honest. This is an Indie Flick in the truest and best sense of the phrase. It may not be for everyone, but if you appreciate film as art, or art as film, you'll love this one! Oh, and LOVE the black and white... everything here just works!! Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/11/23 Full Review tim b A movie, a dream, a surreal dance. A really well done, beautifully shot and acted film. Strange, fun, suspenseful, poetic. It made me think a little of David Lynch. And you know if I compare something to David Lynch I must really love it! Watch this. You won't soon forget it. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Some Southern Waters is a trip, it's hard to describe the films plot as it is often difficult to know what exactly is real and what is not. The film follows Jon a musician who after the death of his girlfriend is haunted by his memories and surreal moments and experiences that echo back to that traumatic event. The film will not give you straight answers, it challenges you to interpret it the way you see fit. The film is shot in beautiful black and white and to say the cinematography is stunning would be a huge understatement. In fact the look of this film is worth the price of admission alone. Absolutely this is a Lynchian style film and I was reminded of that Directors best work while watching this, but also Hitchcock and Jim Jarmusch. Truly a unique experience which for me is the definition of what cinema should be. A reminder that cinema can and should be an art form. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/16/23 Full Review Audience Member Wild and trippy, awesome soundtrack.. feels like a half remembered dream. Great performances Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/22/23 Full Review Audience Member This is one heck of a terrific film! I loved the story and the film's look! Visually it was really good! The actors were wonderful! They were very solid, all of them! The ending surprised me! Normally I do a good job jumping ahead but not this time. Well done folks, great job!! A thumbs up from me on this one!! Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/30/23 Full Review Audience Member What a gorgeous and surreal movie! Very inspiring work with bold choices! The story was compelling and well crafted and it was visually astounding. Excellent performances and a fantastic score as well. The filmmakers have a bright future ahead of them and can't wait to see what they do next! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/29/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
