About this movie

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.

Ratings and reviews

A strong mystery but mostly a character study in which the writing is great and Damon's performance is absolutely pitch perfect.
