Viewing Notes
I’m sure there’s been a few movies made about the Mary Celeste (and a few books, too!). This short film gives a small glimpse of what may or may not have happened to this ship. It’s fine but feels like there was a larger feature that was trimmed down given all the setpieces they created here.
I’d like to watch a better movie about this or read a good book about this ship.
