Summary

Sporogoreća prerijska groteska. Na tlu ruralnog sanatorija, tri mlade žene traže dobrobit, dok vođa kulta pokušava kontrolirati njihova tijela kroz rad i dnevne rituale.

A slow­burning prairie grotesque. On the grounds of a rural sanitarium, three young women search for wellness, as a cult leader seeks to control their bodies through labor and daily rituals.

"A strangely compelling—almost mesmerizing—work... like Malick meets David Lynch, if you want a comparison, but in a deeper sense, Shoals is very much its own beast." (Mountain Xpress)

"A fever dream of a vivid natural landscape... affecting for its hushed soundtrack and low­grain photography." (Chicago Reader)

"A lulling, singular peculiarity." (Chicago Tribune)
