Stillwater
A dramatic thriller directed by Academy Award® winner Tom McCarthy and starring Matt Damon, Stillwater follows an American oil-rig roughneck from Oklahoma who travels to Marseilles to visit his estranged daughter, in prison for a murder she claims she did not commit. Confronted with language barriers, cultural differences, and a complicated legal system, Bill Baker builds a new life for himself in France as he makes it his personal mission to exonerate his daughter.
Good not great @evan11paul
It’s entertaining but it’s one of those movies I wouldn’t own. Wait till it’s on a streaming service you’re subscribed to.
Boring and Slow but Okay @MathOsGuru
It was rather boring and slow, but worth watching one time. I do not think I would ever watch it again though. It is one of those watch-once-and-forget movies in my opinion. I honestly think it is one that you should wait until it streams for either .99 cents or free. Not really worth more in terms of rental cost. I really expected much more given the cast, but it fell short. Sorry, I was really hoping this one was going to be great and my review would have reflected its greatness, but it is just not a great movie in any regard.
I loved Stillwater. @nyctelecaster
I loved Stillwater. I was expecting a Liam Neeson kind of revenge movie but Stillwater is more and deeper then that… Stillwater simmers with danger while we get to to know the intricacies of our characters. Matt Damons performance conveyed a character deeper then the sum of his words and the writing never went “Hollywood” - his personal growth and experience was slow, incremental and at times painful. The performances were moving and Lilou Siauvaud gave one of the best child performances I’ve ever seen. The most impressive thing about Stillwater is the writer didn’t choose to make the cultural differences “cute” or Bill transform into someone completely different - instead Bill stayed in character and the drama was always believable and captivating. Thumbs up!
Different... @Malawimark
I enjoyed the show, storyline could have been better, Matt Damon played well, so did the French family...but expected a little more depth from the characters especially the daughter who was not the victim in the end.
Totally annoying @yea rite
Didn’t like Matt Damon’s acting in this movie as a redneck. Totally. The whole movie was annoying. Turns out spoiler. It’s base on a true story but with Hollywood twist and storyline “ what if “ wasted my money.
