Gone Fishing (2024) dives into a heavy but relatable subject. It’s got this raw, unfiltered vibe that resonates, especially when it comes to how men often sidestep the topic of mental health. The fishing trip serves as a backdrop for Ben and Pete to navigate their grief over their friend Marko’s tragic death. It’s not just about the fishing; it’s their awkward attempts at humor and camaraderie that make it distinct. The pacing lingers in moments of silence and reflection, allowing the weight of their conversations to sink in. Performances are genuinely heartfelt, kind of like watching a real friendship unfold, flaws and all. The atmosphere, while tinged with sadness, has these flashes of warmth and authenticity that make you feel the friendship's depth.
