Don't Go (I) (2018)
6/10
Ignore disturbed_guy's review
23 December 2020
Warning: Spoilers
He obviously did not watch the movie, thus most of his review is utter nonsense. These are some of the points on which he was mistaken: It was clearly stated in the beginning of the film what happened to the daughter. Disturbed_guy must have finished his joint during the opening credits to have missed this. The boat had nothing to do with what happened to the daughter. The daughter died prior to the events portrayed, not during the film. The people on the boat were not drunk. The boat did not drive up on shore. There is no "random drunk woman", it is the wife's college roommate/best friend. The wife and her friends do not get drunk (though they are inexplicably in their underwear), they get high on a joint he confiscated from a student. There's an entire conversation about this, how he missed it is a mystery. The wife does not find out hubby slept with bestie, she tries to OD because hubby is going crazy. He does not just "stumble upon" dead bestie, she had been temporarily living with them and had a history of substance abuse and severe mental health issues. Hubby does not "swim headfirst" into the boat (it is clearly shown to be an accident) to save the daughter because: see points 1-4.

The acting, cinematography, scenery and music are well done. It's not horror or even thriller, It's a drama. There is no blood and guts and no jump scares. The story is evenly paced and interesting enough to keep the viewer's attention. It's not Oscar worthy but it's worth a watch.
