About This Movie

Waterbird is this intriguing piece that dives into the intricacies of love with a very experimental approach. The atmosphere is somber yet liberating, capturing a woman's fleeting moments that lead to a significant personal transformation. The pacing feels deliberate, allowing you to really sit with her emotions. I found the practical effects subtle but impactful—nothing overdone, just enough to ground her experience in reality. Performances are raw and authentic, leaving you with a lingering sense of both melancholy and hope. It’s distinctive in how it uses minimal dialogue, relying heavily on visual storytelling to convey the depths of human connection and the yearning for freedom. A unique exploration that might not be for everyone but definitely sticks with you.
