Crying Underwater (2002) presents a curious blend of mystery and introspection, set against the backdrop of O'Hare International Airport. It’s not your typical airport narrative; instead, it dives deep into the psyches of its characters: The Cell Phone Girl, The Reading Man, The Depressed Pilot, and The Silent Girl. Each character grapples with their own existential dilemmas about weight, both physical and emotional. The pacing is deliberately uneven, creating a sense of disorientation that complements the airport’s chaotic atmosphere. What’s distinctive here are the practical effects—subtle yet impactful, adding to the film's ethereal quality. Performances feel raw and unfiltered, giving the viewer a glimpse into their internal struggles as they navigate this surreal environment.
