Atom User Reviews for Stillwater
One of the best movies I have seem. Totally believable story, good acting and production.
Disappointed. Movie was drawn out only to come to the obvious conclusion.
I had to see a movie and this was it. It was long but it was very good! You have to see the end…
Great acting, slow moving
I enjoyed the movie! Found this movie interesting and sweet as it portrayed a father’s quest in trying to help his daughter.
A little hard to hear/understand what they were saying sometimes. But, we loved seeing a “different” kind of movie with some suspense and twists. Matt Damon does a great job portraying an “ordinary guy”.
I did not like the ending.
Metacritic
For most of its length, Stillwater goes along as a meticulous examination of its central characters. And then suddenly near the end it jumps the tracks.
McCarthy pushes the thriller narrative in directions more extreme and harrowing than plausible, bringing Bill and Allison’s story to an unexpected point of reckoning.
From one vantage point, Stillwater may just be a sentimental and lurid riff on the infamous Amanda Knox case. But I think McCarthy has something bigger in mind, which he pokes at intriguingly throughout his movie’s considerable sprawl.
