Beneath Water

About This Movie

Beneath Water is one of those films that lingers in your mind. It’s got this somber, almost ethereal tone that complements the fantasy elements really well. The pacing is deliberate, allowing us to dive deep into Daisy's emotional turmoil as she grapples with her mother's growing detachment. The underwater sequences are particularly striking, blending practical effects with a sense of isolation that feels palpable. It’s a film about grief and connection, and the performances, especially from the lead, bring a raw honesty to the story that’s hard to shake off. It doesn’t try to offer neat resolutions, which adds to its distinctiveness. Overall, it’s a meditation on loss that feels intimate and haunting without being overly dramatic.
