The Shallows
Though it was just released, The Shallows is a great example of turning a simple survival plot into something more. That something more has everything to do with the character of Nancy (Blake Lively), who we learn about in small increments but completely understand where she’s coming from at all points during the movie. Also, this movie is just plain cool. From director Jaume Collet-Serra’s fantastic directing to the beautiful cinematography, The Shallows does a great job of putting us in this terrifying, yet highly unlikely situation and somehow making us care.
