The loon
calls at the end of this documentary were the only moving effect in this pretentious
film where different groups of friends and family gather at different spots on
a lovely river that seems to symbolize life’s flowing currents. There is a group
of women who talk about their feelings of motherhood; two men who contemplate
depression and death, young boys jumping in the river, one fly fisherwoman, a
couple – she loves him; he is more into other things.
This film is so ridiculously unrealistic. Do
people in nature truly wax philosophical for 20 minutes with each other. Not once,
did anyone ask: “So how are you? What’s happening in your life? Peopledo not listen
to head speak about life in such surroundings, other than in a life coaching
class or in a university
lecture in a philosophy class with a bad professor.
Screened at
RIDM, 2017.
