Film Review – Looking Through Water

The last time the Douglas Family attempted a multi-generational production, it was 2003’s “It Runs in the Family,” and it didn’t work. However, it did offer a chance for Kirk, Michael, and Cameron to act together in a feature, offering them a rare opportunity to interact on the screen. The Douglas clan tries again in “Looking Through Water,” which isn’t explicitly a reunion endeavor, but unites Michael and Cameron, who take supporting roles in this story about the pressures of life and the healing ways of fishing. Screenwriters Zach Dean (“The Gorge,” “The Tomorrow War”) and Rowdy Herrington (who directed 1989’s “Road House”) aren’t interested in putting any pressure on viewers, creating a mild study of relationships and family secrets, paying occasional attention to the soothing influence of fly fishing. “Looking Through Water” could use a bit more energy and intensity, but for those searching for something easy on the senses, the movie might work with its nonconfrontational ways.
