Fred

About This Movie

So, 'Fred' dives into the life of Frederick Fleet, the lookout for the Titanic, and it's somewhat refreshing, you know? The tone is somber but feels respectful, capturing the weight of that tragic night without veering into melodrama. The pacing has a slow burn—definitely not for those who need constant action. Instead, it allows you to really sit with Fleet's character, his regrets and fears. The practical effects used for the ship and its surroundings are quite impressive, adding a layer of authenticity to the whole ordeal. Performances are solid too, with a rawness that feels grounded. It’s an interesting exploration of a lesser-known figure from a story that everyone thinks they know.
