Like the Water

About This Movie

Like the Water is this quiet exploration of grief and memory. Caroline von Kuhn really captures that small-town vibe of Camden, Maine; it’s almost like a character in itself. The pacing is deliberate, allowing you to sit with Charlie’s emotions as she grapples with the loss of her best friend, Katherine. The performances are raw, with a genuine depth that pulls you in—especially the lead, who navigates the highs and lows of returning home. The film doesn’t rely on flashy effects; instead, it’s all about the intimate moments, the conversations that linger long after they've ended. There’s a haunting quality to it, a sense of nostalgia wrapped in the sadness of what’s left behind. Definitely leaves an impression.
