Cold Water (2023) offers a quirky take on the mundane life of an elderly woman in St Kilda, whose serene retirement takes an unexpected turn thanks to her husband's strange new hobby. The film balances comedy and drama quite well, creating an atmosphere that shifts from light-hearted moments to deeper reflections on aging and companionship. Pacing is nicely measured, allowing you to really soak in the characters' interactions. Performances feel very genuine, especially from the leads; they bring a certain warmth that feels both relatable and bittersweet. It's not heavy-handed with its themes, which is refreshing, and the practical effects, when they appear, add a nice touch of whimsy. A unique blend that sticks with you.
