Featured review
"Surfacing" sinks
"Surfacing" is quite a comedown for director Claude Jutra, made a decade after "Mon Oncle Antoine", frequently voted as one of the very best Canadian films ever, and one year before his sadly underrated "By Design", one of the very first positive lesbian movies in history. This film is boring, aimless, and crudely made. The toxic jerk "best friend" male character along for the ride serves no purpose except to drain any possible fun. The film's one redeeming virtue is Kathleen Beller, who has the face of an angel and the body of a sinner. The actors do deserve credit for evidently doing most of their own (particularly the rafting) stunts. *1/2 out of 4.
