   August in the Water is an atmospheric fantasy with science-fiction overtones, in which astrology is real and portentous of strange events, including a drought, people falling prey to a "stone disease", and a teenage diving start meeting with an accident, her fate redefined as a result. A striking ambient score and an indie vibe to the cinematography create a lot of interest, though the ending might be a little too esoteric for me. There's an awful lot of diving in the first half for the slim relationship it has to the climax - I don't think we needed so much of it to sell the metaphor or leitmotif either. That said, I'd rather watch a movie like, with an unfathomable plot, than one where you can see every beat coming like clockwork. August in the Water intrigues to the end, but does it yield the answers you crave? You'll have to decide that for yourself. 2 years 1 month ago
