Nice!

Foekje and her Ex-husband have to convince her mother to leave her parental place because the municipality wants to flood this place. It would be quite an operation because Foekje's mother had never been an easy one. And since the corona, the uncomfortable seems to have moved to the impossible.

Foekje's mother Nel is not at home, it seems at first. We find out that she has lived under the house in a real air raid shelter and can no longer be persuaded. The corona is a conspiracy, the world is being controlled and they damn it to ever come up for that. From that point on, Under Water only takes place in the basement, and it does bring about a strong psychological game, in which these three protagonists entangle themselves.

Nel is completely radicalized. Corona seems to be a moment when certain people have gone so crazy in their thoughts and information corridors that there is no turning back. To the point of being dangerous... But Nel had always been a strange woman. This brings us to the flashbacks of Foek's youth in which she has another sister. It doesn't really want to become clear what is going on concretely, but I still feel it somewhere in my water.

In addition to De Revelation, this corona film manages to make you relive the pandemic, with the necessary news facts and the contradictions that entails. #MeToo also comes into play here, the so-called pedophile gangs in politics and the chips that you should get submitted through the vaccinations. All current affairs of 2020 and 21 are reflected in it.

Yet another progress in Dutch cinema.

4.0*
