Skippers

About This Movie

Skippers (2018) is a quirky little comedy that delves into the absurdity of obsession. The drifter's journey is punctuated by the serene yet sometimes stifling atmosphere of a lakeside town. The pacing feels a bit off-kilter, mirroring the protagonist's struggle between dreams and reality. You get these moments where the locals, with their stone-faced skepticism, add a layer of charm and tension. The performances are sincere, especially from the lead, who embodies that idealistic spirit with a hint of desperation. The theme of pursuing something seemingly trivial—like stone skipping—creates this odd depth. And there's a rawness to the practical effects used during the skipping scenes that feels refreshingly genuine.
