What a great movie! I'm totally in awe of the director, Max Walker-Silverman. Apparently, this is his debut film. I think he has a great career ahead of him. Minimal dialogue, great actors and amazing scenery have done the trick it seems. This film is so in tune with nature that it has an organic feel to it.
Dale Dickey & Wes Studi are phenomenal actors and I am happy to see how beautifully they have been used here. Dickey's expressive face succeeds in portraying vast swathes of emotion. All her hopes and disappointments are very clearly etched on her face.
The film is very successful in portraying the dilemmas of old age. On the one hand, old people can struggle with loneliness. While on the other hand, after having lost someone they have loved for an eternity, they find it hard to replace that person with someone else. C'est la vie!
