Having a huge fondness for post-apocalyptic visions this was unlikely to go wrong for me, and it far exceeded my expectations. An intelligent drama that expects the same from its audience, it builds very quietly and slowly, some say too much, but it needs to to get you in the headspace of living totally alone in the woods for obviously quite a while. I won't give anything away as it is such a pleasure to watch unfold only that a man lives alone in the forest when two women arrive seeking help. Not for everyone but if your cinematically brave watch alone and in the dark and afterwards plant some veg but don't tell anyone.
Like This Watch These: The Road (2009) Pretty dark and a bit depressing adaptation of Cormac McCarthy's book, Cast Away (2000) Tom Hanks solitary performance is superb, Walkabout (1971) This terrified me as a child, two young siblings stranded in the Australian outback.
