Feels like an abridged version of the show Dark. I could tell where the plot was going pretty early on, but it was still really well executed. I wasn't the biggest fan of one part of the ending mainly because it kind of missed the mark. Still a good watch for something on streaming.

Beautiful swampy scenery. Interesting plot with good acting and nice score. Tight movie. Can’t think of anything to complain about. I did not understand it all and had to do some reading after the fact to figure it out but that’s my fault. Based on other comments, most people seem to get it first time around.

Someone loved Dark and decided to make a movie out of it just to save the time of 3 season of time loop madness. Brillaint. Whatever residual of Dark is anyway going to be a masterpiece. So, Stiles from Teen Wolf is now on a quest to join the rest of the pack through a time traveling lake which only works when it's "dry af". I will say it's kinda sus. Jokes aside, a must watch.

[spoiler] If you've unspoilered this review and still haven't watched it, please, I know I say this about a lot of things, but please watch this blind. Please. Don't read ahead, stop reading all the one liner zingers on Letterboxd, just watch this as blind as you possibly can, it's fantastic and deserves a fresh, spoiler-free viewing.[/spoiler] [spoiler]With that out of the way, what a movie. Emotionally heavy with clever time warp antics and a lovely, swampy aesthetic, Caddo Lake is the stand-out surprise of the year for me. I went in expecting Amazon Prime streaming fodder and came out thoroughly invested and pretty emotionally rocked. Frequency meets The Marsh Kings Daughter, for anyone that's watched the same, niche movies as me. Almost deserves a second viewing to pick up all the smaller details that will have assuredly washed over me on the initial viewing before I knew what was actually going down. I can almost guarantee that when I do, this review will probably jump another half a star. Fantastic stuff, Celine Held and Logan George, you have my attention. I'll be watching anything you create going forward, and I'll make time to go back to Topside the moment October is over.[/spoiler]

Christopher Nolan level of original. I went in completely blind and I suggest you do. Takes a while to build but the pacing, unravelling and beautiful visuals keep you stuck in. The acting was great too, especially between relationships. I could physically feel the love or shock or pain or discomfort. I wish there was more reaction to certain things and the one thing you expect to happen, doesn't happen and it slightly annoyed me. If that was me I would have no sense of life and collapse, credits roll. It's a great movie for anyone looking for something tense, mysterious, and emotional. I mean the score, sequences, and story had my mind twitching with thoughts.
