If you have an Amazon Prime account and trust one of the world’s most prolific writers, you may want to take a look at the indie movie Wade in the Water. According to Stephen King, it’s very much worth a watch, as he enthusiastically stated on his Twitter Thursday evening when he called it “a little movie with a big heart.”
King points out that Wade in the Water is devoid of any major special effects or high-cost sets, but he makes note of the performances of the film’s two leads, Tom E. Nicholson and Danika Golembek. Luckily, he isn’t alone in thinking it’s a fantastic movie, either, as critics have praised it for its intimate storytelling and compelling writing, so it’s one you may not want to sleep on.
WADE IN THE WATER (Amazon Prime): No big FX, no expensive sets, but two pretty exceptional performances. It's a little movie with a big heart.

Wade in the Water tells the story of an ordinary man who accidentally receives a disc containing child pornography. Having dealt with childhood abuse himself, he finds himself unable to turn the information over to police, instead making the choice to track down and kill the pedophile who was meant to receive the disc. In a twist of events, the pedophile’s daughter manages to track the would-be vigilante down first, and thus ensues a story about morality and unexpected friendship.
Of course, this is by far not the first time Stephen King has made recommendations for shows and movies on Twitter. In recent months, he’s been giving people plenty to keep up with during quarantine, such as his recommendation of Escape at Dannemora and his endorsement of the incredibly unusual film Deranged Granny. One thing is certain, though – if one of the world’s most beloved writers tells you something is good, there’s a pretty good chance it is, so make sure to take a look at Wade in the Water.
