Some guy named James Bird watched an old show called Dead Like Me & thought "I can change a few minor details of this script, and make it even more boring!" And then some other dummies financed it, and then I got the unique privilege of fast-forwarding through this abortion on Amazon Prime. Lucky me!

Writer/ Director James Bird presents We are Boats. This is one of those movies that is a pure delight to watch. Has everything a movie needs to attract a large audience. You will laugh, cry, get angry and really get drawn to the stories of the main characters. Francesca is sought of a guardian angle/ grim reaper. She weaves in an out of peoples live at the point when things seem desperate and problems occur. Sometimes with good consequences or sometimes death! What is true poetry is the way the people she are helping for this storyline all intertwine and somehow have something to do with each other. Francesca is searching for her own conclusion and is somehow connected within the lives she is helping. Maybe by helping this Misfit group of mortals she can find rest and be able to say goodbye to the love one she left. Friendships are put to the test. Friends shouldn't be asked to test loyalties of brides to be. Or lonely lost husbands tempted by lust and beauty. Loyalty, love, loneliness, lust are all possibilities. I don't want to give away to much as there is a complex set up that is beautifully resolved and will bring a tear to everyone's eyes! Remarkable award caliber performances are displayed in this Lil Indy. A excellent story By James Bird could only be equally Brought to life by his direction. I loved every minute of this movie. It's hard a movie can make you use all your emotions equally and be so satisfying in the end.
