Hello Cinephiles,
Today we’re talking about the 2022 film The Curious Case of Dolphin Bay.
Story
This felt like a middle grade book from the early nineties. The twists of the mystery are simple but satisfying and the overall ecological message is solid. It’s definitely aimed at a younger audience.
Score: 1
Characters
I liked the characters on their own and when they got along but the fighting between the girls was frustrating. One of those, “Just talk to each other!” type of things.
The villain was well hidden and a lot of the secondary characters were very likeable.
Score: 0.5
Dialogue
Some of the dialogue was very young but overall it was okay.
Score: 0.5
Visuals and Music
The setting was spectacular and it elevated everything. The camera work was solid and the use of shadows was great.
The music was kinda bland but still did it’s job
Score: 0.5
Fun
The whole family liked it and we’ll probably watch it again. Loved the queer representation and acceptance.
Score: 1
Overall
A solid middle grade story with plenty of beautiful scenery and good acting to make it worth everyones while.
Final Score: 3.5 Stars out of 5
