The film follows Jordie MacAulay (Ry Barrett) as he gets kicked off a hockey team and reluctantly travels back to his hometown because he has nowhere else to go. He’s the middle child of a fractured family and has a very contentious relationship with his estranged elder brother Nicky (Colin Price). Barrett and Price have great chemistry with each other which makes their sibling rivalry easy to buy into as the two brother try healing their divide while still letting years of resentment get in the way. They also do a nice job showing how similar Jordie and Nicky are in their behaviour as both of them can be quiet, distant and lash out in all the wrong ways when things don’t go their way. As the central heart of the story, Barrett and Price carry the film very well.

Shug McSween Review

“ The eldest McAulay boy Nicky, played by co-star Colin Price, is a hard-nosed emotional basket-case who can let his temper get in the way of his message. Price couldn’t be harder on his younger brother, and his character takes over a couple of scenes perfectly with his raw-emotion. Although appearing confused at times, Price’s character is rooted with love and hard-work, and this ‘typical’ eldest of the bunch just wants what’s best for his family. Price’s breakout performance is intense, it’s fierce and the foundation is stemmed with a heavy heart.

Shug McSween from the Nationwide Dean Blundell team with a great review of “Still The Water” from the Whistler Film Festival.
