Film Review – Float (2024)

“Float” is an adaptation of a book by author Kate Marchant. This is not the usual literary translation, with Marchant finding success on a social media platform devoted to Gen Z writers looking for eyeballs on their work. Potential box office success for a project like this was established with the release of 2019’s “After,” which spawned a franchise of heated romantic tales for younger viewers. “Float” is chasing the same idea, only Marchant’s work is aiming for a more tender examination of wounded people finding one another in small-town Canada. Co-writer/director Sherren Lee looks to provide a human story of burgeoning communication, crafting something that’s easy on the senses and possibly relatable for some audience members. It’s not the most stirring viewing experience, but the picture has a welcome gentleness and interest in emotional needs to keep it going. Read the rest at Blu-ray.com
