Amidst the fishing community of New Bedford, Massachusetts, “Finestkind” unfolds its seafaring drama, drawing on writer/director Brian Helgeland’s own experiences. Ben Foster’s Tom embodies the perpetual conflict between the freedom of the open sea and the intricate web of responsibilities on land. The film opens with the evocative sounds of the ocean, immersing the audience in the sensory experience before unveiling Tom’s binary existence—life on water and the anticipation of returning to it.
