The Waterdance               Drama

 

* * * *
Eric Stoltz, Wesley Snipes, and William Forsythe are suburb in writer-co-director Neal Jimenez's fictionalised retelling of the aftermath of a hiking accident that left him permanently paralysed from the waist down. Attention to detail, including what must be re-creations of events that happened during Jimenez's period of hospitalisation, make for an absorbing, emotional, and often suprisingly humorous story of confronting the unthinkable.
