So, 'Coaster: The Adventures of the John F. Leavitt' is this fascinating documentary that really takes its time to immerse you in the world of a wooden schooner. It’s not just about the ship itself but rather the life surrounding it, you know? Shot over six years, the pacing can feel slow, but that's kind of the point—it's about the enduring struggle against the North Atlantic. The cinematography captures the rugged coast of Maine beautifully, with that raw, windy energy. And while we don’t have a big-name director, the storytelling is rich, showing the human side of the sea. There’s a genuine warmth in how they portray these sailors and their connection to the ocean, which makes it stand out in the documentary landscape.
