Movie Info

Len is a Surf Lifesaving champion, a legend in the cloistered surf club just like his father. But when the younger, faster, fitter Phil arrives at the club, Len's legendary status starts to crumble. Then Len sees Phil arriving in the company of another man; a man Phil gives a farewell kiss to. Phil is gay. Over the summer season, Len starts to form unexpected, confusing feelings for Phil. When Phil de-thrones Len at the annual surf competition, Len and his buddy Meat take Phil out on an intoxicated bender through the seedy city. Jealousy, homophobic fear and unrequited lust culminate in a tragic late night trip back to beach where Len seeks total oblivion.

Critic Reviews for Drown

All Critics (4)

It's an unpleasant experience that spends too much of its time with bad dialogue to say anything we don't already know.

The film hinges on Levett's powerful performance.

Eye for Film

The trio of actors -- Levett, Jack Matthews, and Harry Cook -- anchors the film with compelling performances.

Francis has got an interesting eye and goal in mind here, it's just the material needed more refinement and stronger structural beats for it to reach its admirably lofty ambitions.
