Sunfish (& Other Stories on Green Lake)

Watched at the 2025 Sundance Film Festival.

Anthology movies are a risk because having several stories in one can be either a mess or not. Luckily, Sierra Falconer is able to provide a comfort vibe summer journey with wonderful camerawork, soft stories, and good performances from the nature environment and characters. The movie perfectly captures the summer vibes of youth, people, and the lives people encounter in their moments. Providing some good character interactions, narratives, and dynamics.

Regarding the narrative, there are four stories. Each story focuses on the themes of summer, but on various characters. Particular the first and fourth story is the best one with the most interesting and engaging characters. While story 2 and 3 suffers from some character issues, they didn't feel out of place and were still able to offer a good summer vibe and structure.

Falconer is able to prove with her directing work that she has some good talents. I really like the summer vibe the movie offers and I throughly enjoyed this one.
