The Drowning of Arthur Braxton

When an awkward, heavily bullied schoolboy from a dysfunctional home discovers a beautiful water nymph hiding in an abandoned Edwardian bathhouse, he must confront his own personal demons in order to save them both from the depraved custodian who keeps the enchanted waters alive with the ritual sacrifice of children.

My take

A haunting exploration of loss and guilt that pulls you under with its psychological weight. Arlo would appreciate the deliberate pacing and the way it examines how tragedy reshapes a life, leaving viewers suspended between mystery and acceptance.
