7/10
A beautifully paced movie

"When the day is done, my mind turns to her and I think, why are we to be separated"

Despite ( or because of) its obvious slowness I enjoyed The World To Come. It's feel and pace reminded me a lot of Portrait of a Lady on Fire and there are other obvious comparisons .

It's the story of two neighbouring couples who battle hardship and isolation, witnessed by a splendid yet testing landscape, challenging them both physically and psychologically.

This is a love story brought on be the harshness of the environment they live in and the relationships they are stuck in.

The two women are superbly played by Katherine Waterston and Vanessa Kirby and the moment they set eyes on each other you are totally convinced they are in love .

The cinematography is superb , especially when the storm is raging and the scenery is beautiful but surprisingly it's not filmed in America it's shot in Romania.

This won't be to everyone's taste but enjoyed they pace of it and I totally believed in the characters.

Not bad at all.
