Dark Waters

A good movie

“I had no idea what this movie was about but since it was directed by Todd Haynes and since it was available on Netflix, I was really eager to check it out.

"Solido film di denuncia con lotta ambientalista di pochi contro i mulini a vento corporate. Niente di nuovo ma molto ben raccontato: l'avvocato che incrocia per caso la causa di pochi agricoltori contro il colosso DuPont e si appassiona, la doppiezza del suo studio legale che dà un colpo al cerchio e uno alla botte, l'azienda che le prova tutte pulite o sporche che siano, l'impegno costante che mette in crisi i legami familiari, la vittoria finale seppur talmente faticosa da far continuare la l"
