In God's Hands

One of the best low-budget art films I've ever seen. The story is slow and deliberate. The visuals are stunning. The acting is solid, but the dialog and the final editing is just average. The surfing is stellar, but considering the lengths the story goes to show how difficult it is, more explanation on techniques might have been useful. The other major complaint regards the main character. He's supposed to be quiet and 'deep'. But he comes across a little as simply anti-social, maybe even superior. It's not enough to make you dislike him, but it is enough to prevent sympathy. I'd highly recommend this movie to those who appreciate mood movies. If you're looking for an action film or a Hollywood clone though, you will be disappointed.

I have watched this movie several times on DVD, and always get more out of each time The cinematography is superb, giving a real feel for the surfing experience and the story of this troupe of surfers moving around the globe is a joy. I think the dramatic content is enough to make the movie stand in its own right, and the surfing footage is some of the best I have seen Get it on DVD and enjoy

I am working as a lifeguard in many places all over the world... These movie is the greatest i have seen - these waves - these guys... If you like watersports - it is a must!! I was in waves 6-7 meters - but in this movie - wohhh!

Beautiful photography of Bali and Hawaii. Story of obsession. What is life about... what is the meaning of our existence? what takes precedence - relationships or achievements? Anyone who is into extreme sports, extreme career or social change efforts can relate to this movie. Success in one area can mean loss in other areas. Relationships take time as do great achievements. Which horse do you want to ride? Protagonist takes a small boat to Mexican island and he throws his waterproof backpack into the water and then continuity seems off as he paddles away without his stuff. Maybe he meant to leave it there.

it is not difficult to criticize it. but the the first low impression could be a real mistake. it has not an impressive budget, it has not stars or special effects. but it has a splendid story. and a wise manner to present it. in honest way, like a confession. a film about a passion , about freedom.and about friendship. simple images. not complicated subject. but seductive for the status of drawing of different portraits, for the translation of the huge love for waves and people. a film who could be a lesson of life. or more, because it is perfect support for remind the small, basic things who really defines a life.
