Blackwater (2023)
8/10
Blurred dialogue
8 February 2023
A wornout theme of an obscure quasi-religious sect taking refuge in the countryside with a supposedly charismatic leader controlling his herd with expected bad consequences.. Though the bearded prophet makes it improbable that anyone would like to follow him. The subject / message of a threatened nature by evil commercial companies fits the nowadays reborn panic of an approaching ecological disaster. Perhaps more relevant today than in the hippie context the tale is anchored in, but still...The broken-up timeline without logic and the blurred dialogue makes it incomprehensible. Good acting does not make up for the flaws. Beautiful landscape makes it watchable, as well as the female lead characters. A slightly better serie is Knutby. Has Nordic crime noir had its heyday?
