Roger Moore Movie Nation A darkly comic mystery-thriller...more disquieting than fun, but more amusing than troubling. Rated: 2.5/4 Jan 7, 2021 Full Review Read all reviews

Greg S Really enjoyed watching this - watched it twice. Crisp, realistic dialog, excellent acting. It's evenly paced and easy to follow. Love the parts where "our man" goes nuts at the ridiculous pettiness of lifes' ups and downs. The writers and producers did an excellent job on this one. The film is about vengence and redemption. Not about incel culture or morbid obesity. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/13/23 Full Review tom m Just okay. The 2nd half was more interesting than the first. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Wade in the Water is unique for an indie movie because it's a bit of a character study. I've been binging on a ton of indies, and they have a hard time with this kind of movie or at least doing it this well. The crux of the story is that the protagonist finds purpose after accidentally finding a secret none of us ever want to ever see. Tom E. Nicholson, who plays the lead, is in every scene and is mesmerizing to watch. He's an angry character that starts to grow on you. You get and understand his daily frustration. There is a little of him (or a lot) in all of us. Excellent watch. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/02/23 Full Review Audience Member Outstanding and unusual indie film. Enjoyed thoroughly. Unusual and different with great acting, writing and direction. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/09/23 Full Review tim b I've always liked films that feel lived in. I don't know if any of the things depicted in the film happened in reality. But the feel real and believable enough that they could have. I was absorbed by this. An artful blending of realistic drama and suspense. Kudos. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review william r Oddly paced and beautiful in the strangest ways, Wade in the Water is a compelling watch that is at its best when you don't think about what's happening too hard.
