- PLOT:
Actuary Guy (GAEL GARCIA BERNAL) and his museum curator wife Prisca (VICKY KRIEPS) are aware their marriage is ending, and thus they're committed to giving their kids -- 11-year-old Maddox (ALEXA SWINTON) and 6-year-old Trent (NOLAN RIVER) -- a memorable vacation at a tropical resort.
That includes a trip to a secluded beach that they were promised would be theirs alone for the day. Thus, they're surprised when surgeon Charles (RUFUS SEWELL) and his wife, Chrystal (ABBEY LEE), along with their pre-teen daughter Kara (MIKAYA FISHER) and his mother, Agnes (KATHLEEN CHALFANT), join them for the van ride to the secret spot.
After walking through a short canyon, they arrive at the beach, only to find Brandon, a.k.a. rapper Mid-Sized Sedan (AARON PIERRE), along with psychologist Patricia (NIKKI AMUKA-BIRD) and her nurse husband, Jarin (KEN LEUNG), also there. But Guy and Prisca's concerns about a private excursion are shelved, first when the body of a dead woman washes up.
It then gets worse when they realize that the kids have suddenly aged, with Maddox (THOMASIN MCKENZIE), Trent (ALEX WOLFF), and Kara (ELIZA SCANLEN), now teenagers. Realizing they're all trapped there, the strangers try to learn what's causing all of them to age as well as find a way to get off the beach.

I have subscribed to ScreenIt for more than a decade. I check in every week to take advantage of their amazing services. Not only does their site provide a glimpse of exactly what content a movie offers, I've found the “Our Take” reviews and ratings for each movie to be right on the money every single time. I've referred dozens of friends to this service because my #1 resource for deciding whether or not to show a movie to my kids, or to see one myself, is ScreenIt.com!

I signed up to get Screen It weekly reviews a long time ago, when my kids were young and I wanted to know more about movies before we went to a theater or rented. Now one child is in law school, other in undergraduate, and I still read the weekly Screen Its! It helps me know what my husband and I want to see or rent, and what to have waiting at home that we all will enjoy when my "kids" come home. I depend on Screen It reviews. They usually just present the facts and let me decide if the movie is appropriate or of interest for my family and me. Thank you for providing that service, Screen It!

I have 4 children who are now in college. I signed up for Screen It when my children were pre-teenagers. Often my children would ask to see a movie with a friend and I wished I could preview the movie prior to giving permission. A friend told me about ScreenIt.com and I found it to be the next best thing to previewing a movie. The amount of violence, sexual content, or language were always concerns for me and my husband as we raised innocent kids with morals. We constantly fought the peer pressure our kids received to see films that in our opinion were questionable. With the evidence we received at Screen It, our kids couldn't even fight us when we felt a film may have been inappropriate for them to watch. Thank you, Screen It. Continue to make this helpful service available to everyone, but especially the young parents.

Screenit.com is an amazing resource for parents, educators, church groups or anyone who wants to make an informed decision whether a movie is suitable for their viewing. The reviews and content descriptions are so detailed I am mystified how the reviewers can put them together.

I love screen It! I don't know what I would do without it. It is well worth the membership. Before we take our son to the movies we check it out on screen it first. Thank you SO much for making it. Keep up the good work & keep 'em coming!!!
