The sly and complex thriller, Barracuda, is a slow burning character study filled with terrific music, magnetic performances, and fascinating depth. Sinaola (Sophie Reid) has traveled far and wide to find her only remaining blood relative. Merle (Alison Tolman) doesn’t know what to make of the young woman sitting on her front porch who claims to be her half sister. They both share the same father—a philandering country musician who has recently died. As Sinaola enmeshes herself into Merle’s smoothly established family life, the seams begin to fray, just as their relationship is being forged. Intentions are veiled, as Sinaola’s behavior becomes more erratic; her pent up anger uncoiling in the beautifully menacing country folk songs she plays on her dead daddy’s guitar.
