CGiii Comment
A film of 2 distinct halves.
There is no faulting the performances nor the scenery.
But...it is called Limbo and that is exactly where it will leave you.
Disparate perspectives on survival - but, it fails to make an impact.
Shame.

Limbo tells the story of people trying to reinvent themselves in the Southeastern islands of Alaska. The story revolves around Joe Gastineau, a fisherman traumatised by an accident at sea years before, singer Donna de Angelo and her disaffected daughter Noelle who come into Joe's life. When Joe's fast-talking half-brother Bobby returns to town and asks Joe for a favor, the lives of the characters are changed forever.
