The Water People

About This Movie

The Water People presents a curious blend of animation and raw, emotional storytelling, tethered to themes of loss and longing. Stew's journey with Carrie and their dog Max unfolds in an eerily dreamlike atmosphere, where the lines between reality and desire blur. The animation style is distinct, often unsettling, reflecting the emotional turmoil the characters face. Performances are charged, particularly in moments of intimate connection and painful revelation. There's a striking use of color and surreal visuals that add to the film's uneasy tone. It's not for everyone, but it really explores the darker nooks of human relationships, leaving you with more questions than answers. Either you get it, or you don't. But it definitely lingers in your mind.
