A Languorous, 87-Minute Movie Worth Watching

Sierra Falconer’s Sunfish (& Other Stories on Green Lake) is an anthology film that actually works.

For those brief hours in its presence, a film demands total immersion, and switching from one story to another can start to feel like taking a long trip that requires hopping between cars and trains and boats and planes. In the first episode, “Sunfish,” Lu (Maren Heary), a 14-year-old who’s been left to stay with her grandparents by her just-eloped mom, discovers the joys of navigating the nearby waters with a small sailboat. In “Two Hearted,” a frustrated single mom and waitress (Karsen Liotta) offers to drive a big-talking, terminally ill local man (Dominic Bogart) to try and snare a monster catfish that he’s convinced lives in the waters of Green Lake.
