Bryan S I think this story is pretty chill and Trevor from GTA is good too in the movie. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/14/25 Full Review Judi V There's a lot we were impressed by in this fil, i.e. the quality of the visuals, the heartwarming yet visceral storyline, and both being long-time coastal Mainers, the familiar authenticity and cultural accuracy. I especially loved your portrayal of Jamie. I've known a lot of Maine guys in my long life and harbor a secret observation of their rocky exterior that cloaks an endearing, lovable interior. (Don't tell anyone I noticed). Rated 4 out of 5 stars 05/05/25 Full Review Craig W I stumbled upon this when looking into what else Sarah Catherine-Hook has done besides White Lotus. This is a sad movie, but it reminds me of a lot of the often-sad indie films I used to see when I lived near an arthouse type theater back in the 90's. I think Sarah is definitely the best part of the film, but I enjoyed the whole thing. The Maine scenery is pretty amazing, and it was cool watching a story involving a way-of-life that I knew nothing about. The main actor guy is really good too. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/18/25 Full Review Totes M Just can't recommend this movie. The acting is the worst I've seen in a while. The girl went full on Simple Jack and that was annoying within 1 minute. The plot was embarrassing. Jumped all over the place and new characters out of nowhere for no reason. Then some weird ghost dad scene. The worst! There's no way the positive reviews are real. There too much fake reviews lately on a lot of movies. Don't waste your time or money on this garbage. Sarah Catherine Hook is the only good thing about this movie. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 03/02/25 Full Review John S A surprisingly good film that will stick with you with a really strong cast. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/30/25 Full Review Bill A This movie was a driftless, rudderless, pointless waste of time. The movie’s plot sunk to the bottom of the Ocean much like one of the cut Lobster Pots. There was absolutely nothing redeeming in the story and not a single character developed into one that you actually could care about. The actors’ portrayal of their characters were muddled at best and lacked any real depth. They were caricatures of New Englanders but even that fell flat and missed being quaintly stereotypical. I have no idea why this movie got made or what the story was supposed to tell us but it missed its mark…actually it missed every mark. I wanted to like this movie as I love movies about the Ocean, fishing, small town life, love, loss and redemption. But this movie wandered so aimlessly about it was impossible to like anything about it. Save your money and your time because if I could’ve rated this movie less than 1 star I would’ve… it didn’t deserve even 1. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/19/25 Full Review Read all reviews
