The strange couple pours him a drink, and then more drinks, followed by an unexpected offer that Glen can’t refuse. Elsewhere, a young woman, Katie, is feeling emotionally weighed down by a secret romantic arrangement that feels like a textbook case of gaslighting.

Movie Review: “The Burning Sea” (2021) 

Movie Review: “The Burning Sea” (2021) 

The Burning Sea is the latest in a string of great-looking, well-acted Norwegian disaster films. It comes from The Quake director John Andreas Andersen and The Wave writer Harald Rosenløw-Eeg, the latter of whom cowrote this feature with Lars Gudmestad. The result is a thrilling epic boasting highly impressive CGI effects, fine performances, and solid direction. Andersen, Rosenløw-Eeg, and Gudmestad focus on making emotionally relatable characters that viewers can get behind before the titular catastrophe occurs. Sofia (Kristine Kujath Thorp in a terrific emotional and physical performance) is a submersible drone pilot who shares a loving relationship with her boyfriend Stian (Henrik Bjelland), an oil rig technician who has a young son. She also has a well-grounded professional relationship with her work partner Arthur (Rolf Kristian Larsen). Viewers get to know these characters well, so that when things inevitably go awry with the effects of offshore oil drilling on continental plates, we are genuinely invested in what happens to these
