Woops, yeah no spoiler intended.
Nobody drop no spoilers!

It is not a windsurf movie like we are used to.

Summary i found online
"Brief plot descriptions are often deceptive, which is why categorizing "Atlantic." as a windsurfing movie, or even an immigration drama, fails to capture the sensitivity and lyricism that sophomore helmer Jan-Willem van Ewijk and d.p. Jasper Wolf bring to this engaging, generally restrained pic. Beautifully shot on the Moroccan coast, the film tells of a local windsurfer whose frequent association with Euro travelers adds a highly charged pull to the already palpable draw of departure. Atmospheric, at times impressionistic while still firmly tied to a discernible plot, "Atlantic." is sailing smoothly in fest waters, and could see a small Euro release.

If padacah says it's worth renting, then aussies are lucky they can get it on sbs just now.

correction: I was asking if it was worth renting. btw, I hate sad endings so if things suck at the end, obliquely tell me. I don't want to invest 90 min of my life into the characters and leave feeling depressed. That's what the news are for.

To be honest I would say no, save your money. The cinematography was good but for me the movie just meandered along, nothing special.

sorry i missed the question mark.
Maybe better you just keep getting your drama from news i think

Oh it meanders along very very slowly. I'm probably a rare one that likes that though i think.
Don't think of it as a movie, just a sloooow nice scenic film.
It was a bit of a chore to get through it, but i'm glad i did.

That's a fair review, slow but light enough.

SPOILER ALERT....
Not really a spoiler but the person I watched it with thought he was trying to sail to Europe to somehow be with his mates girlfriend.

Thanks to all for the "reviews". I may take it in someday but don't have the mental energy at the moment. Thanks, MobZ, for posting the interview. That's a pretty neat story and that one had a nice ending - windsurfing guy ends up starring in a movie he helped inspire.

Yes Paducah that's the true story, and it's a good one. The dream is still alive.
I can not handle one bit of news these days. I had to completely cut it all from my life as much as possible. I don't trust it either. People can make very convincing video news these days with AI so I don't know what is real and what is not. The wind is real. So I'm sticking to that.
