Saltwater

Saltwater is a quiet, devastating film anchored by two career-best performances. Two estranged sisters inherit their father's failing fishing boat and must decide whether to save it or let it sink.

The film trusts silence. Long stretches pass with only the creak of rope and the slap of water, and yet the tension between the sisters never slackens.

By the final act, the boat becomes less a possession than a question: what do we owe the people who hurt us?
