What a pleasure to see actors like June Squibb, Margo Martindale, and Annette O'Toole in roles that usually go to men, complex, wily, and tough.

A tightening of the screws would have helped this thriller immensely. But Cole and Krudy are after something a little different here than just two sister and one downward spiral.

Rated: 3/5

It's normally not a great sign when the lead characters are less compelling than anything around them, but the Connollys' predicament opens up the weird bits of village mythology and feminine conspiracy that secretly drives the film forward.

It’s an original story, which is rare, that is different, and you find an appreciation will build as the quarantined days melt together.

Rated: 3/5

Native Mainer here. Just watched the preview but my ears are BLEEDING. This is not how Mainers talk. These accents are wild and all over the place. Just talk in a basic broad American accent and throw in a few "wickeds" (wicked good, wicked bad, and if it's supposed to take place in the '90s or earlier, wicked queeah), and it'll be better than this nonsense.

Pithy and average film cloaked in modern "artistic" predictability. A good illustration of films not being better just because they are "indie".

The girl went intentionally to the shed in order to find a knife (evidence) and failed. But the next scene the old lady (presumably a villain) comes and immediately finds the knife by accident. C'monn, I simply cant stand this type of absurdity so I turned it off right away. I was so annoyed that I didn't care anymore for anyone in this picture. They can all blow down whoever they want as far as I'm concerned.

Everyone in Easter Cove, Maine has dark secrets, and they all unravel in a day or two - maybe for the better, maybe not. While the film captures the look and feel of a worn-out fishing village (I found the cinematography spot-on for the environment), the plot seemed a bit thin and contrived. As desperate as all the main characters were for change in their bleak lives, I had a hard time believing that they would have done the things they did, past and present. As the two sisters, Morgan Saylor and Sophie Lowe held their own with an ensemble cast of veteran character actors including June Squibb and Margo Martindale. A distracting enough way to pass an hour or so of social distancing.
