Great watch, would watch again, and can recommend. Trigger Warning: sexual violence. Ellen Page and Evan Rachel Wood carry most of this "mysterious dystopia" movie. I'm sure this story can be used as a parallel of what it is to be a woman in the modern world, but I see it as a survival story. The two aren't necessarily exclusive to another. The "last person on the planet" trope is good, but even just the idea of living off-grid is daunting enough to the average person without it being the only option. It's a sister story right alongside "Frozen" and "Kill La Kill" to me. The family togetherness is a good lesson woven into the story. While I'd prefer zombies, they do a great job of showing the story, the character's emotions and how they're feeling about things at any time. On the frustrating side of it: you get to see people make a lot of mistakes in surviving, which of course progresses the story bit by bit.
Read the whole review on TMDBThe struggles of a sisterly connection are put to the test in symbolic darkness during a massive, freakish power outage in director Patricia Rozema’s intimate, gripping and quietly thoughtful post-apocalyptic drama **Into the Forest**. Academy Award-nominees Ellen Page (“Juno”) and Rachel Evan Wood (“Thirteen”) are the cinematic siblings in Rozema’s (“Kit Kittredge: An American Girl”) meditative, tension-inducing tale about the futuristic flirtation with global panic and disillusionment when the world faces the possibility of a modern-day meltdown in technological dependency. In short, **Into the Forest** is a low-key character study touching upon not only the survival of the deteriorating societal elements but also the bond of sisterhood glued together by faith and fear under dour circumstances. Rozema’s unassuming yet disciplined direction and thought-provoking script creates a low-toned “end-of-the-world” cynicism that psychologically works in her minimalist melodrama. Also, the film’s leads in Page and Evan Wood provide a heavy dose of believability as the periled sisters trapped in the unpredictable confines of the ominous and isolating Canadian woods out in the middle of nowh
