  Against the Tide 2023

  ★★★★★ Watched 28 Jan 2023 2

  Thoughtful, reverent, beautiful. 

  I was so surprised how much this didn’t feel like a documentary. 

  There is no reliance on any the usual voiceovers, interviews, or text-on-screen for explanations. Instead, the story of these two men is allowed to unfold before us with stunning “still life” like visuals and barely any sound additions, which makes everything feel authentic. 

  Kaur shows us significant social themes — climate change, capitalism, inequality, friendship — through a clear lens, one without any presumptions to how we should or already feel about any of it.
