The Body Is Water

Set between Houston, Texas, and the weathered coastline of West Cork, Ireland, a grieving man vanishes to a remote Irish village, only to find that disappearing is the one thing the town — and Lou, an eccentric young woman with a curious dog — won't let him do.

Directed by Vicky Wight, The Body Is Water leans on a strong ensemble — Isiah Whitlock Jr., Saoirse-Monica Jackson, Aunjanue Ellis-Taylor — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 0.
