What to expect from Stillwater?
Stillwater has a pretty straightforward plot that involves a father-daughter relationship. In the movie, Bill Baker (Matt Damon), who belongs to Stillwater, Oklahoma, has to go on a journey to France to visit her estranged daughter Allison (Abigail Breslin) who is in prison.
Allison has been falsely accused of the murder of her partner and friend Lina. It now depends upon Bill to bail her out of prison by staying in France. The story of Stillwater depicts the struggles of a father who does everything to free her daughter from prison.
Since Matt has shown his acting prowess in films like The Departed, The Martian, Contagion, Jason Bourne and many more, it is justifiable to expect tremendously from this feature.
