REVIEWS
“Molly (played by Sophie Simmons) has a vital exam. She is stressed and can barely cope with the anxiety. There is nothing she can do to overcome this prevailing feeling. Trying to find an outlet, she goes out for a walk on the beach. While walking there, she sees a man and hands him a sandwich, believing he is homeless. It turns out that the man, Tom (played by Vincent Woods), lives in a tiny shack on the beach, trying to cope with his demons. When the two worlds collide, they find answers to questions that seemed to have no solution until that point.

Matt Sedgley’s ‘Man off the Coast’ embodies great poetic value in the scenery and the dialogue, being one of the few films we’ve seen lately that has the genuine power to make the viewer shed a tear.”
