The Water Man (I) (2020)
6/10
a wishing well that doesnt quite deliver...

Even though it has its moments of magic and adventour to make a grumpy oldtory to the end. Its not hereby said that it is a gold nugget, rather a piece of obsidian of nno further value for the real squemmish. The idea is great but its a mixed experience considering acting quality and the way its stiched together, and looses a lot of its credibility and coherence when closing up to the end.

Its a sad family story indeed, and the undertoone of loss, grief and fright lingers all the way as the film developes. A lonely kid, with an angry father and a terminally ill mother should give some idea. Its also a story about the waterman, a cascadian legend about the ghost of a man searching for his fe, and the fact that this person has the power of immortality makes the kid go bananas in the oregonian wildernesss in the search for a cure to help his mother.

Having said this, i can give you at least 45 minutes of well worth time spent moviewatching, the rest and where it is i wont tellil warm some hearts, award the adventourous and the green enthusiasts and may make some people cry from the hope and the loss. Technically its a well made film a well executed special effects quality, the flames look real and the animatronix are pretty vivid and exciting. Its not a must see film, more a should see film is the final statement from the GOM.
