  • The Surfer (2024)

    1h 40mins

    6/10

    First time watch in the cinema

    Psychological Thriller – Suspense – Drama

    A man is trying to return to his childhood beachside neighbourhood, where he’s met with escalating hostility from the locals who are determined to enforce their mantra: “Don’t live here, don’t surf here.”

    I personally really enjoyed this film, but there were a fair amount of people walking out of the Screen Unseen viewing and can see why it wouldn’t be for everyone.

    I love me a Nicolas Cage film and this delivered in a perfectly weird, quite surreal and trippy cinema experience.

    I loved the aesthetic of the film with its oversaturated colour.

    I enjoyed being kept in a level of confusion alongside Nicolas Cage’s character, The Surfer, where you’re not really sure what’s going on.

    It felt original, kept you on your toes and had striking, sun-scorched cinematography.

    Would watch again
