A well made film with incredible cinematography and a brilliant blend of real in your face life emotion laced with humor. The effects of trauma, our journeys and mother nature are a powerful combo. Worth seeing twice.

Robin Wright is excellent. This is her movie and her performance shines. It took me back to the movie Wild with Reese Witherspoon. Gorgeous nature vistas and is a decent journey of re-discovering one's self meaning and purpose. Nobody has to be completely alone, it might take 1 other person to have us wake up and be alive again for those we lost. I actually did enjoy this a lot better than Nomadland, emotionally sweeping score, and I got a bit teary eyed at the end.

She is wonderful, as always. Quite a story.

As a widow myself, this hit home and I completely related to what the main character is going through. Grief sucks; it's never ending. If you are lucky enough to not understand grief then maybe you will at least get a taste for what it can do to those of us dealing with it day to day. Outstanding acting and beautiful scenery.

Writers didn't do the movie justice n viewers ignore the fact that it was filmed in Alberta.

It just about makes the "good" category… The main character's back story stays hidden in the background, leaving us watching a hollow movie.

Spoilers ahead: I'm biased. A part of me has always wanted to do what Edee is doing. That aside, I like Robin Wright but I think Demian Bichir and the character of Miguel are a big part of why I adore this film. Which is in fact a compliment to Ms Wright since she directed. I loved the line "Only a person who has never been hungry, would think starving is a way to die. There are better ways to die." Add to that the line "what if aliens land here?" and the Tears For Fears serenades. All and all, at its core it's a simple love story in my opinion. Not romantic (which by the way is so refreshing) But Miguel literally saves her life physically and mentally. And Edee helps Miguel have some semblance of hope before transitioning and "a way to die in a state of grace". 89 visually stunning and emotionally touching minutes of two people who are just trying to pick up the pieces and "rule the world" they find themselves in the best they can.

Beyond bad. Wilderness cliches.....unwatchable.

I think this is a good directorial debut from Robin Wright. A well constructed film, not pretentious, of a theme we have seen in certain ways in various other films

Absolutely loved this movie, I love a good story about people turning their backs on society and sticking it out in the woods. Goes straight into my top ten movies

4.0 stars. What an inspiring performance by Robin Wright. Her Directing debut was mostly directing herself. It certainly paid off. This script could have easily been turned into a Hallmark movie. However; her performance gave a stark realism to a suicidal character, and made the character's development much more intriguing and enticing to the viewer. What a beautiful location to film this movie. Not only did it add to the beauty of the film, It also provided the harsh and threatening background needed for the outdoor adventure aspect of the film. The plot development was slow through the first 3/4 of the picture. But if you were able to hang in there through it, the last 1/4 of the picture was such a beautiful reward.

Epic! Stunning acting, beautiful scenery, great story, what do you want more!

I love this actress. She is amazing in anything. Yes. The movie was very slow. But just stick with it. There's rewards. Well written.

A little slow at times but it’s still a good movie James Welch, Henderson, Arkansas June 30, 2023

This movie could only be really enjoyed by someone who has no real knowledge of mountain life or actual survival. The story was touching, but the movie portrayal of surviving mountain life through the seasons should have been more realistic.

This film proves that even in your darkest moments, there can be hope. I found this film so moving. It definitely makes me appreciate what I have. This film doesn't shy away from grief, it embraces every raw detail of it. This is definitely up there with all the films I count as inspirational and worth seeing.

Spectacular film in terms of scenery and depth and how nature and human contact can heal. Two characters, each with their own trauma help to heal one another and what could be slow and subsumed in grief is instead, thoughtful, beautiful and not overly indulgent in the grief. Yes it's slow but it's in time with the season and the grief itself. Also makes you want to have a cabin in the hills!

I found this movie cathartic and cried a lot, good movie, would watch again, it's somber so if you want a good cry watch it.

A city women suffering through grief and depression decides to move to the harsh country side in isolation and learns to find some happiness in her life. A movie where nothing really happens.

A beautiful, contemplative meditation on the nature of loss and rebirth. Free of manufactured action, suspense or romance, Robin Wright as director insists on immersing us in both the grief and isolation of Edee, the protagonist, who must find a path forward in the face of unimaginable tragedy. If you want bear fights, menacing villains and melodrama, you know where you can stream those movies. But if you invest your time in this touching, gentle and compassionate story, you will find that it is deeper than many of the critics have grasped, and needs to be experienced from the inside out. We are rewarded for our patience with a story that examines what matters, and examines the purpose of life in a deeply touching way. It's not slick, it's not fast, and it's not in your face. It's a quiet work, exquisitely filmed, and carefully crafted with heart, A wonderful pay off for those who are not yet too cynical to appreciate how vulnerable and also resilient the human spirit can be,
