DVD Beside Still Waters

Seldom at todays film festivals do you expect films with great writing, acting & direction, but that is exactly what "Beside Still Waters" delivers. A modern day "The Big Chill" with some new twist and turns. The ensemble cast pulls together nicely to give the audience some ownership of the problems that plague us all in these tough times. The film doesn't preach, it entertains us while reminding us how so much has gone wrong. Director Chris Lowell simply treats the audience with respect and knows they're intelligent enough to know that problems exist with the main character like the cabin being sold. Keeping it real the film has great characters with real flaws that we can relate to. Very real, very clever and very funny. A good time for sure. The short running time left me wanting a little more and that's always a good sign.
