Some Saturdays

About This Movie

Some Saturdays (2018) is one of those quiet dramas that creeps up on you. It's about Hank and Jules, a couple in their 40s taking what looks like a carefree summer boat ride. But there’s an underlying tension that builds slowly, almost suffocatingly, as they drift further out. The film's atmosphere is thick with unspoken words and unresolved issues, which makes the pacing feel both languid and intense. The performances are raw, capturing a couple at a boiling point. It’s definitely not flashy, but it’s this subtlety that really gets under your skin, making you reflect on relationships and the weight of silence. The practical effects are minimal, relying more on the characters’ interactions than any gimmicks. Quite distinctive for a quiet indie piece, really.
