To be honest, it's almost impossible to put aside my thoughts and explain the film "The Chronology of Water." The film explores the memoirs of Lidia Yuknavitch, narrating her chaotic life in an even more chaotic way. I haven't read the book, so I can't comment on that, but Kristen Stewart's directorial debut is an incredibly excellent piece of work that will make you feel like you're trapped underwater from beginning to end. While it's a terribly disturbing story about loss, abuse, and self-destruction, there is a glimmer of hope when you manage to surface, right at the end of the film.  The cathartic moment is nice, plain and simple.

Michel Franco is a filmmaker who knows how to explore truly dark and twisted films that provoke outrage and frustration in his audience. Having enjoyed many of his works, this latest film isn't his best, but it's still ambitious, with good concepts and well-explored atmospheres.

From beginning to end, Franco's ambitious atmosphere and direction are quite good. He explores the dynamics of power struggles, social injustice, politics, and the paradoxes of the world. In addition to good camerawork, the performances of the cast are excellent, especially Jessica Chastain and Isaac Hernandez, whose tension, dark elements, and disturbing nuances offer a good perspective on their characters and personalities.

Director: Michel Franco
Writer: Michel Franco
Stars: Jessica Chastain, Isaac Hernández, Rupert Friend

The script is interesting; however, the problem is that it sometimes feels detached from its petty theme and purpose, which makes some moments and pacing feel flat. Franco's aim is to explore unsavory characters who do things that generate conflict and challenges. Franco occasionally delivers a solid performance throughout the film.


Despite some awkward dialogue, some of the soundtrack is good, and the ballet sequences are well-directed and presented. I appreciate the approach Franco explores, despite its dark and controversial nature.


Overall, I enjoyed the film, as its dark purpose and presentation feel meaningful.
