In a chat with Friday Treat, some of the viewers said that without mincing words, the movie was “stunning”. The extra attention to detailing was one of a kind, especially as it related to showing life under water.
The conscious reflection of being underwater wasn’t mistaken. The movements, the swimming and everything that related to portraying life underwater was well served and that gave the movie a major thumbs up.
