The Surfer

CriticsCritics: 63
AudienceAudience: 5.8

A father takes his son to an idyllic beach tied to his childhood, hoping to surf together. After local men humiliate and exclude him, his determination turns into an escalating psychological ordeal, as the hostile setting and mounting pressure push him toward a breaking point.

My take

You’ll like this if you enjoy surreal, darkly comic psychological thrillers with intense performances and unsettling atmosphere; Not for you if you prefer clear plots, steady pacing, or conventional action.
