I’ve only seen you and one other person review it. I wanted to check it out but it’s limited so I’ll probably end up watching at home.
Yeah, definitely not necessary to see in theaters (or at all).
I fully, wholeheartedly disagree with this reviewer that it’s not worth seeing in theaters!
I have AMC’s movie pass deal, and I randomly picked this movie to watch last night , and was completely captivated.
Some might call it a bit of a slow burn, but I think that’s what I found captivating. It’s like, through the setting (Scotland, but looks kinda like rugged Greenland imo), blocking, and sound design, they somehow bottled up that feeling of understated-yet-electric alertness that happened when you’re in the woods at dusk, alone, and hear a noise. Or hell, even when you hear a noise at the edge of the yard while taking the dog out at 3am lol.
This movie is, imho, a subtly riveting depiction of the more nuanced aspects of the primal survival drive that threads through all of humanoid-kind, from way back then through modern day.
If I absolutely had to compare it to something, in pacing and tone, I MIGHT say Upstream Color. But overall, it’s a very unique and refreshing film, imo.
@@DannyD-lr5yg I just saw it and reviewed it on my channel if you’re interested.
@@DannyD-lr5yg Glad you liked it! I'll have to rewatch it and see how I feel on a second go. There was too much that took me out of the movie though that might be hard to look past.
