Drinkwater

About This Movie

Drinkwater is this quirky little comedy that captures the awkwardness of adolescence in a small Canadian town. The protagonist, Mike, struggles with that classic teen alienation while contending with a jock named Luke, who’s all privilege and pressure. The film’s atmosphere feels almost nostalgic, with a pacing that allows for some real character moments, especially with Mike's dad, Hank, whose antics with government scams add a layer of absurdity. The performances are solid, with a nice balance of humor and pathos, making the relationships feel genuine. It’s that kind of film where the offbeat charm carries it, perfect for those who appreciate character-driven stories with a bit of a twist.
