So, 'Under Water' is this deep dive into the life of a young woman grappling with ME, which is really hard to watch at times. The pacing feels slow but that's kind of necessary to let the weight of her struggle sink in. There's this rawness to it - it doesn’t shy away from the reality of living with a chronic illness. You see her moments of despair and the little joys too. The atmosphere is quite intimate, almost like you're right there with her. The practical effects, while minimal, really serve to highlight her internal battles. The performance is something else - it feels genuine, like she’s just laying her soul bare. It’s not flashy, but it hits you where it counts.
