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
