The actors do a good job of creating an atmosphere of real tension and unresolved emotions, with Colin Price really shining, especially in the final act of the film. You feel like you are watching a real group of people, separated by emotions and distance, trying one last time to find a way to figure it all out. There are some very powerful scenes and some moments that make you feel for what they are going through.

Shug McSween Review
“ The eldest McAulay boy Nicky, played by co-star Colin Price, is a hard-nosed emotional basket-case who can let his temper get in the way of his message. Price couldn’t be harder on his younger brother, and his character takes over a couple of scenes perfectly with his raw-emotion. Although appearing confused at times, Price’s character is rooted with love and hard-work, and this ‘typical’ eldest of the bunch just wants what’s best for his family. Price’s breakout performance is intense, it’s fierce and the foundation is stemmed with a heavy heart.
Shug McSween from the Nationwide Dean Blundell team with a great review of “Still The Water” from the Whistler Film Festival.
