The Water Diviner
If you're looking for water in California this summer be sure to point your divining rod at million-dollar celebrity ranches.
Mind you, the unending search for respite in this drama occurs in post-WWI Australia.
In the wake of his wife's suicide over the loss of their three sons, outback farmer and water diviner Joshua (Russell Crowe) heads to Turkey to retrieve their bodies from the Battlefield of Gallipoli, so that they can be buried alongside their mother.
With help from a local merchant (Olga Kurylenko) and an Ozzy officer (Jai Courtney), he unravels the mystery surrounding their tragic endings, and discovers more than he was expecting.
More fantasy than fact, first-time director Russell Crowe awkwardly attempts to integrate a May- December romance into actual historically events making for an off-kilter and suspiciously sanguine war story.
Furthermore, the airline is going to charge you an extra $25 for each of those coffins.
