This is the portrait of Terry Kennedy, a legendary diver who decades earlier had made friends with a 22 foot manta ray he called Willie. As Kennedy is getting close to the end of his life he decides to make one final trip to Baja in Mexico in an effort to try and reconnect with his old friend.
This is one of the very best films playing Tribeca and one of my favorite films of the year. This is a glorious look at life, at friendship and the lives we have lived. By the end of the film I was so moved that I was wiping away tears.
This isn't just a look at the effort to find Willie, but so much more. It'a a portrait of Kennedy, who lived several lives It's a love story of Kennedy and his wife. It's the story of the friendship. It's a look at efforts so stop the hunting of mantas. It's a look at aging and at how we live life.
This is just magnificent filmmaking...and I say that before I even mention the jaw dropping underwater images. Trust me you want to see this as big as possible.
Highly recommended.
