Prepare to shed a tear - Undertow review by MI

Spoiler Alert
01/06/2018

Beautifully filmed in a harsh coastal South American landscape this is a very moving love story between two men from differing backgrounds, deftly tackling cultural differences, secrecy, family, and death. You will weep, guaranteed.
