Stillwater follows Bill, an American oil-rig roughneck from Oklahoma (Matt Damon), who travels to Marseille to visit his estranged daughter (Abigail Breslin), in prison for a murder she claims she did not commit. Confronted with language barriers, cultural differences, and a complicated legal system, Bill builds a new life for himself in France as he makes it his personal mission to exonerate his daughter.

I know, I know, most of you probably took a good nap, counted your fingers, or watched the cockroaches crawling under the TV, but I enjoyed Matt's quasi-detective "Lost in Translation" quite a bit. Even in slow-moving films, there's plenty to find interesting and here, despite the respectable runtime, only the essentials are told. It would be a shame to cut out the family relationship ballast around it, because it would only harm this sober narrative. The story has a very realistic esprit, with a moral dilemma at the end – as in real life, nothing is just black and white. And I liked Matt Damon's subdued performance very much, exactly what a dyed-in-the-wool praying Republican would look like.
