The Ferry

About This Movie

So, The Ferry is this intriguing mystery that unfolds on Christmas Eve. You've got two women on a boat, drifting over a cold, dark pond, and there’s an atmosphere that’s just thick with tension. It’s all about their conversation, which feels both intimate and unsettling. The pacing is slow but deliberate, allowing you to really soak in the chill of the night and the weight of their words. The film is based on a short story by Lygia Fagundes Telles, which adds a certain literary quality to it. The practical effects, though minimal, really serve the eerie vibe. It’s not flashy, but rather a subtle exploration of human connection and the unexpected turns life can take. Worth discussing for sure.
