The Water Man

For Amos Boone (David Oyelowo, who directed), a move to rural Oregon hadn’t helped his small family cope with the failing health of his wife Mary (Rosario Dawson). For their impressionable 11-year-old Gunner (Lonnie Chavis), the local kids’ tall tales of a forest-dwelling “water man” with magical healing powers set him into the woods on a mission of hope… and gave him a revelatory adventure. Fine family drama also stars Amiah Miller, Maria Bello, and Alfred Molina. 92 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack: English
