Green takes us to that place where we keep feelings that we treasure, but are a little afraid of.
Although there is violence and danger, this is less about the chase than it is about the relationship between the siblings.

Green makes you think and his films are so quiet and subtle, you almost find yourself in the film, wrapped up in the moment.
Undertow may prove the least immediately satisfying of Green's films, but it remains an achievement, emotionally rich and rife with biblical and mythic undertones.
While the quirky structure could be taken as a bold move, the story still feels frustratingly incomplete, rendering the preceding hour or so a tantalising glimpse at what could have been.
Undertow becomes unbearably imitative and predictable. It's a kids-in-peril B horror movie in the guise of an art film.
It's just sort of trying.
