IMDb plot summary: A bereaved woman seeks out a new life, off the grid in Wyoming.
Directed by Robin Wright. Starring Robin Wright, Demián Bichir, Sarah Dawn Pledge, and Kim Dickens.
This is a slow, thoughtful movie with an abundance of nature scenes. It takes on a unique tone having a female protagonist, as nearly all "hurt person becomes a hermit after losing their family" stories are centered on men, and Robin Wright's character here brings a different vibe to the movie. The film includes long sequences with very little dialogue, where we just watch the character cope with her new life, and while part of me definitely zoned out a little bit in these scenes that felt like some sort of survivalist documentary, it also very nicely captures the ebb and flow of the time she spends there. At the end of the film, when she mentions two years have passed since she moved in, that doesn't feel startling or unexpected, even though that time hasn't been marked throughout the film. It's not a film that speaks to my interests specifically but it's well done and worth a watch.
