Thanks for recommending this, I really liked it. Midnight Mass turned out to be absolutely not to my taste, so I really appreciated how this film handled a not-dissimilar premise with such economy and good taste. Was really satisfying, bravo to the filmmakers.

You guys (I mean Jay) should watch the Oscar nominated foreign film Girl With the Needle. One of the most disturbing movies I’ve seen and it would be right up his alley

Okay, where’s the Gene Hackman Easter Egg. We all know RLM cursed him somewhere recently.

I can’t recall the episode, but in one MST3K, Tom Servo commented on the film’s lighting: “Filmed inside a bishop’s miter.”

I like Mr.Roberts. When I see him it’s not a jarring display of ego, he’s never taken me out of the moments provided. Good Actor.

Possible spoilers:
I think you missed a bit of dialogue explaining their relationship to the mainland. You had to piece it together from bits of conversation.
They mostly lived in isolation from the mainland during that first scene. After those first events, like the very beginning of the 9 year jump, they agreed the best response to the miracle discovery was: 1) making him mayor and 2) everyone committing never to return to mainland.
This agreement was an exchange for protection of and access to their new "resource."
A beautiful portrayal of inescapable greed created by good people caught in a tension between loyalty and self preservation.

I watched it. It’s absolutely great. Absolutely, it deserves better than to be on Tubi.
The score of the movie left something to be desired, but other than that this is a great movie.

Weirdly enough, Cineplex (the largest Canadian movie chain) played promo material for this movie in their pre-show for at least a month last year. I can even find an old Facebook post from Cineplex saying that tickets for the movie were on sale. Strange that there is no reported revenue from Canada unless they sold literally 0 tickets

When are you guys gonna watch “When evil Lurks” ????????

"Edit: ooh, also The Devil’s Bath"
They should work their way up to this through "Ich seh, ich seh" and "The Lodge" in a Veronika Franz/Severin Fiala spotlight episode for fucking depressing movies that make you want to kill yourself... :)
Also, "The Lodge" is one of the best movies of the last decade and not enough people talk about it...

Intriguing ! I’ll now patiently wait 2 years before it hits streaming in my country (still waiting on Dinner in America…)
Have you seen When Evil Lurks ? Seems to fit in that rural/slow horror/helpless world we live in vibes.
Edit: ooh, also The Devil’s Bath

Mike likes this movie because he relates to the little girl. He, too, washed up in a boat in a small town. However, instead of healing people, he has the power to make people drunk by proximity alone.

Some other excellent Canadian films that I loved recently:
Riceboy Sleeps
Matt and Mara
I Like Movies
Universal Language
Paying for It
and a Quebecois one called: Humanist Vampire Seeking Consenting Suicidal Person

If it has Midnight Mass and The Mist vibes, I'm in.
ETA: Jay mentioned that new The Wolfman movie and how he would NOT recommend it and oh boy - do I agree with that statement. The movie was a mess!

On the Gilbert Gottfried podcast, his wife/manager tells the story that Roberts said he wanted to act every day and she said that could be arranged.
