Directed by Alexandra Simpson | 93 mins | 2024
The threat of an impending hurricane has sent most of the residents of and visiting tourists to the coastal Florida town of Atlantic Beach scurrying for cover—but Simpson’s ravishing mood piece lingers behind with a handful of holdouts ignoring the mandatory evacuation order: a teenager working at a souvenir shack, two longtime friends with a standup night at a local dive bar, and a storm chaser eagerly anticipating the arrival of apocalypse. A singularly becalmed and contemplative work that dispenses with the spectacle of the Hollywood disaster film to offer instead detailed character studies of the last frayed remnants of a community flickering in the wind of a rising storm.
