High Lakes is a rather unique documentary, blending staged scenes with the rawness of observational footage. It captures the mundane yet intimate work of summer housekeeping at a lakeside resort in the Oregon Cascades. The film isn't flashy; it leans heavily on its voice-over soundtrack, which features interviews that feel personal and relatable. You get a real sense of nostalgia as family, friends, and colleagues share their work experiences, creating this warm atmosphere. The pacing is deliberate, allowing moments of reflection amidst the hustle of resort life. There's something distinct about how it showcases labor, not just as a task, but as a shared experience, which gives it a very grounded and human touch.
