Aquarians

Aquarians is a legitimately well made independent film. I gave it a shot due to its quality film festival pedigree and I was rewarded with its honest filmmaking. The story centers on two brothers in a snowy Wisconsin town. These brothers appear to have gone in opposite directions in their lives -- one is about to become a priest and the other is a recluse who sells pot. Aquarians reunites these brothers and we witness them grapple with their differences, their futures, as well as come to terms with past tragedy. For me, the film was worth watching just for the pretty snowy midwestern landscapes, but the story and its deft handling are why we watch little indie finds like this. Give Aquarians a watch.

More films like this one would get me off the couch and back to the cinema.

Lovely acting set in a community that feels so very real (if not a wee bit romanticized.)

There is an element of subdued magic realism in the film that finally blossoms into something like faith.

All adults will gain something by watching this film.

A touching & emotional story played by talented actors. I cried, I laughed, IT moved me , I really loved it POIGNANT

This film impacted me more than any other film this year. The performances are incredible and the story heart wrenching.

Lovely and thoughtful film that explores grief and guilt. The story is about two brothers each handling a family tragedy in different ways. A moving film with unexpected humor throughout, great performances, beautiful cinematography and music. Definitely worth watching!
