CGiii Comment
Sometimes when you watch a film...and, by the end, you ask yourself: Why bother making it in the first place?!?
Beside Still Waters is one such film...an ensemble of disagreeable characters. The really obnoxious one is the gay one. The really vain one...is the other (oops).
The camera-work is pitiful at the beginning...it gets a little better (late than never). But...the story...blistering, convoluted claptrap...
Lowlights...
The lost cell phone is an irrefutable nonsense...he knows his friend has lost his phone...yet he still rings it...and, as it so happens...it is found ringing - in the middle of a forest - by its owner...what the f**k?!?
The other scene of decrepit thought...I am not gay...so screams the man who has been seen with a willy stuffed up his ass.
Women talking about anal sex - craftily intercut with the men talking about...anal sex. It may have sounded clever on paper...alas, not on the screen.
Trailer...
The(ir) Blurb...
A young man struggles for closure after the death of his parents.
