GamerTab That was an excellent one.
Cathardincu Surprisingly incoherent and boring
Tyreece Hulme One of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.
Benas Mcloughlin Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.
savethecloudsfoundation This is a bad movie. But I think this is how America would be if it was ran entirely by women. They'd just burn it down and leave.
de_baltz Although the movie seems to have a pro-life undertone, it was quite good. The movie portrays a close-enough-to-realist take on the post apocalyptic genre, without an actual apocalypse. The movie relates emotions and the actresses did a great job.
AMar_rom Two sisters (aged 17 to 20 years) live quietly and comfortably with their father, residing in a house inside a forest. The family commutes to the nearest city daily so as to buy groceries, go to school etc. Suddenly one night there is a power break and electricity is completely shut down. Soon it becomes clear that the problem affects the whole country but no explanation is provided by the authorities. Power is not restored and the family has to cope with the new situation.This is an interesting movie that deals with the end of a world and its way of life. At least the world that we are used to live until now: namely, the world based on electricity, high technology, electric and electronic appliances. The movie tries to answer the question: what are the consequences to society of the sudden 'death' of such world? on the small community? on the family? How this affects peoples lives ?Do not expect any big special effects. Events unfold in certain locations around the three family members. No big groups of people are shown, neither any catastrophic events are depicted in the screen. I found the film clever with a mature story line, a bit slow moving but in a manner that is neither boring nor predictable. The relationship between the sisters is pivotal in the film.I would have rated the film slightly higher if not for the last 5 minutes. The film takes a turn to something that was just not necessary at the time. Sometimes decisions like that are taken after much longer times, when practically needed and there is no viable alternative.
gogeccc Seriously, in the ending I was like WTF, DUDE!? After delivering the baby, walking to the house in the rain, she decides to burn it down? I thought she was displaying a case of postpartum psychosis and wondering what is her sister gonna do about that... And what does she do? She agrees that the best option, with her sister's baby just having been born, is to burn the house and go live inside a tree bark while it's raining and doesn't look like it's gonna stop? WTF!?The movie was OK, performances OK, premise OK. What happens to our civilization if (when) we lose power and communications? How do we survive, having lost all our survival skills (or never even being learnt)? The film deals with issues such as human nature, people robbing and raping each other in case of a catastrophe, instead of helping out and joining forces.I feel like the most sensitive topics, like how do you preserve food and how do you grow food and how do you prepare food and how do you survive winters when there's no food around and... basically anything that's about survival has been left out. How do they survive 15 months in the forest? There only so much berries in the forests and they're not even there for the entire year... Though, they did show how they can (cook and sterilize) berries, which is respectable.All in all, the entire film was overshadowed by the ending. They didn't cover much of survival - OK, I can get over it, films don't have to be about what I expect them to be about - but the ending is a complete and absolute sack of... well you know what. So much from me.
