More then just a film

How Deep Is the Ocean is a poignant indie drama that explores themes of survival, self-destruction, and the quest for meaning in a transient life. Set in Melbourne, Australia, the film follows Eleanor Gray (Olivia Fildes), a drifting 20-something woman running from her troubled past while grappling with a series of poor decisions and fleeting connections.The film is an intimate portrayal of Eleanor's aimless journey, as she navigates toxic relationships, dead-end jobs, and moments of despair. Walsh skillfully uses Melbourne's urban landscapes and stark cinematography to mirror Eleanor's internal turmoil. While some viewers found the narrative somewhat lacking in resolution, particularly regarding Eleanor's backstory, the performances and atmospheric direction drew praise for their authenticity and emotional weight.Critics have noted the film's Cassavetes-like improvisational style and its unflinching depiction of flawed characters. Eleanor's struggles resonate with those seeking stories of resilience.

Great Aussie Indie Gem!

How Deep is the Ocean is an Australian indie film about a girl named Eleanor who runs from her mysterious and troubled past to start anew in Melbourne, moving in with alcoholic Roy. Elanor is played by the brilliant Olivia Fildes, who is just so natural and mesmerising, and you can't help stay glued to the screen when she's on. The same goes for her alcoholic housemate Roy, played Cris Cochrane. Even though he is a mess, he's got so much charm and charisma and you can't help love the guy. The chemistry and banter between Elanor and Roy is so good, and I loved watching them on screen together.How Deep is the Ocean is the debut feature from Australian director Andrew Walsh, who does a great job directing this beautiful little gem. The film is well shot and the dialogue seems to be very much improvised, which gives it a real natural feel. It made me feel like I was actually there with Elanor, just feeling lost and helpless in Melbourne, which Roy sarcastically and repeatedly describes as the "World's Most Livable City". I believe the director Andrew Walsh has directly responded to Melbourne having that tag for so many years, and seems to be the overall theme and message of the film.Overall, this is a great indie film, which has a really chill vibe to it, making us go on this journey with the strange and loveable girl in a strange and loveable city.
