Platicsco Good story, Not enough for a whole film

JinRoz For all the hype it got I was expecting a lot more!

Maidexpl Entertaining from beginning to end, it maintains the spirit of the franchise while establishing it's own seal with a fun cast

foutainoflife I don't know what I just watched. Couple loses son, mom is traumatized after the fact and refuses to leave a spot where she feels his presence and dad can't leave mom. There were so many details left out of this and it moved so slow that I almost stopped watching it a few times. I hung in there hoping the end would be worthwhile but I was disappointed. Not something that I'll ever watch again.

ChronicCinephilia I've been a member of IMDb for over 8 years. Before now, I've only ever written a review for one movie and that was Sophie Coppola's 'Somewhere' travesty. Today I will write my second review: This movie is absolute garbage. Two people living in a hole out in the woods is how it begins. It takes over 45mins before we even know why the hell they're there. Are they trapped out in the woods? What country are they even in? Then one of the two hole people visits the local shops hiding his face the entire time. Are these people criminals? What the hell is going on? It's a very long drawn out story and if you think the ending will be worth the payoff you're wrong. In the end the dead son turns in to a Pig and apparently saves one of the two lunatics hiding in the woods.Avoid this like it was the plague.

JohnLamberio A tragic story set in the French/Swiss Alps, about a distressed couple seeking refuge from grief. They "hole" up in the forest and avoid contact with the outside world, attempting to overcome their pain and mourn in solitude. Survival is about foraging and hunting, living off the land.The acting from Kate Dickie and Paul Higgins as the couple is top notch, showing real emotive zeal without the pretentious overacting some actors often portray. It is thoroughly believable, in spite of the gorgeously shot film itself.There are some of life's harder questions like how do partners deal with loss? Couples can't always manage equally, despite the equal loss. And this film magnifies the question right up until it's ending. It's not uplifting, but it's all the better for its melancholy. By which time you'll likely agree, that this a gorgeously shot film. The utilisation of the environment is spot on, and the landscapes give you a great sense of solitude, reflection and slower pace...which is likely what the director was after.7/10 for me with high marks for the direction, shooting and acting.

logismum This film moved me. Powerful silence, actions and way of telling this story. It unfolds perfectly, like in a real life event, not some Hollywood garbage that is fed to people, creating this whole fake generation. I am not a person that knows the review speak, so ten lines is a stretch for me, I don't read reviews that are longer than about the same amount of lines, I want to watch and experience a film for myself, not read a book about how another person perceived every detail.A basic outline is enough. This film is like a snowball, ending in the most unexpected way, yet throughout the film, there were glimmers of indication, if one is perceptive to such things of course. I really enjoyed the journey, there is a melancholic feel to this, that is the closest to a spoiler you will get from me.
