Captivating

Rating: 9/10 (15 July 2019)

A mix between light and dark, a piano set on the beach with exquisite piano playing whilst the waves lap at the woman's feet, a young girl dances with the sea in the background which remains as the moments defining this movie. Somewhere between the ethereal mists, the pounding surf and the dark torrential deluge of rain, the plot navigates a slimy and muddy path between events as everyone slips and slides into the dark abyss of forbidden desires with resulting catastrophic results. A Immaculate performances by Hunter, Paquin and Keitel make this movie really shine bright with gorgeous narrative from a child, not seen or heard from since.
