Review of Stillwater (2021) by Coopcooper — 06 Aug 2021

I fully enjoyed this film. I saw it in a real movie theater, not on my couch [where I have been viewing many films over the past year due to the pandemic]. It was engaging and engulfing from the get go.

Some of us prefer a slowly developing format with twists and turns. The acting performances were stellar. From reading other reviews, it appears people do not have patience for a story to unfold at its own pace, and prefer fast action and violence.

It is loosely based on a true story, but does not present itself as art imitating life. It was refreshing to see a good drama on the big screen.
