"Pike River" Takes Us Into the Tragic True Story
The beating heart of this film is the relationship between Anna Osborne and Sonya Rockhouse.

Five individuals meet by coincidence in a random diner at the same time, without knowing they all affected each other's lives the night before.

This 2024 musical film is based on the Broadway show and the 2004 film of the same name with major differences.
On top of the phenomenal acting, and great dialogue between the two characters, the cinematography was ravishing! The sound was outstanding! The production design was simple, yet intrinsic. The minimalistic approach in the Malibu beach house represented how little they really have going on in their relationship. The storyline may have been much simpler than "Who's Afraid of Virginia Wolf," but all the more insightful, and much more animalistic at its core.
I highly recommend Dark Waters. It’s a highly engrossing picture, which lends itself to cautionary storytelling. The dark information continually grows, inspiring change and accountability altogether. Overall, Haynes’ picture will not be known for its inclusiveness--but it will be known for being a fantastic, engrossing film.
