Water Rites

When it comes to production value, this movie offers very little. It has a cast and a director, but it's mostly location shots and dialogue. There is no substantive props and there is no real effect payoff anywhere, and while that is fine, it does put a lot of weight on the performances and on the plot of the movie in order for you to get engaged with it. The movie doesn't live up to this and therefore feels very hollow. The ending is unearned. The story feels vacant in and of itself, and it just doesn't have anything substantive to offer at all. I cannot recommend this movie.
