Slow burn...contains much wisdom veiled in subtle comedy. Fully enjoyed this as an INFP sorta gal.

Best horror movie I've ever seen! Went into this one blind not knowing anything about it and it was amazing. Beautiful, haunting chants, costumes, and acting. Not for kids or those easily grossed out. Open mind required! Wicker Man + 1000 geniuses = Midsommar. Easy to know what is going to happen because they tell you...sometimes by actually saying so haha....but, knowing what was going to happen actually enhanced the plot instead of made it boring. So well crafted! Much appreciated.

Awesome movie! Underrated. Extremely well done build of tension several times throughout the film. Clever strategies used to try and solve her dilemmas. I've watched it 4 times so far.

The actors and situation came across as phony right from the start - climbers tackling such a rockwall would likely have much more muscle than what these characters had. I've probably seen too many climbing documentaries to find this movie believable. All in all, it was doomed from the opening scene for me. I watched til the end as it was highly recommended, but didn't feel the tension and stress while watching that other people who were more into it felt. For those who like this type of tricky survival situation movie, check out, "The Shallows" With Blake Lively. 5 stars for extremely well done build of tension several times during the film and very clever strategies for solving her dilemma.

A very engaging and emotional undertaking. Footage of the ocelot is awesome and intimate, especially in the night hours. Witnessing such close bonding, breakdown, and recognition of one's life purpose at any given time is as much as you could ask from any film. Well done! I want to watch it again. Best show I've seen lately.

If you liked the movie, "Old," then you'll probably enjoy this one more than most of the bad reviews. Acting...meh. It was alright enough for me to keep watching til the end. Cinematography...good. Tree cross over parts nicely done. Plot...mega predictable. Ending...mildly funny. 7/10.

Really cheesey right from the opening bird, and it stays about the same throughout. The description holds the potential for a moving and beautiful movie, but the acting felt very forced and the special effects very artificial in the natural setting of the marsh. Too bad. I may read the book; however. The sociopathic dead guy was most accurate. He warns Kya with the comment about his dad saying if his friends knew who he really was, he'd have no friends. If someone tells you something along these lines, listen to them...and leave while you still can.

7/10 aka 3.5 Stars. This is a slow and creepy movie. I read nothing about it before watching, so had no idea what to expect. Even though it is quite sparse and quiet for the most part, the artful tension created by a white naked man lurking in the rain contrasted with a weathered wet grey farm shed surrounded by glowing green foliage was enough to keep me interested. The misogynistic, childlike behaviour of all the male characters is overtly frustrating and mimics the downfalls of the main character's "ex" husband. The fact that these behaviours perpetuate is reflected in the disgustingly awesome ending involving rebirthing of the same traits over and over and over...and over. These men are baby narcissists who have learned nothing about kindness or human rights before reproducing. Scary thought. This movie may not be enjoyed en masse, but it has some merits if you are the patient type interested in being creeped out for a little while.

Looking forward to something? "Teleport to tomorrow" by going to sleep early...such a lovely spin on this story's spark of creativity. The way the characters seem to teleport from scene to scene throughout this movie is beautifully done and not something I've seen crafted in such a subtle way ever before. Pure joy, calmness, and thoughtfulness quietly floats out of the girls as they play together and perform simple tasks like cooking, eating, and role playing. This is a very relaxing movie and it need not meet the logical expectations of real life in order to connect with a person's past enjoyment of fort building, board games, and pancake making. It is a slow burn that gently tugs at the glue holding your childhood memories in the back of your mind. Nelly and her mom in the car near the start of the movie is painfully charming and worth watching at least up until then. I stayed up and watched this movie after everyone went to bed so I wouldn't have to worry if others were bored and I could just enjoy the simplistic beauty that emerged from sorrow and a walk in the forest.

The good: half a star for some cool shots of walking in the low desert sun. Half a star for good dirt make-up and dirt wardrobe. One star for ending that made me jump so sharp that I spilled my beverage haha. Not so good: very predictable events! And, there's not a whole lot of events. I guessed basically everything that happened, minus the final clip. I usually love slow burn, limited character, limited dialogue type of movies, but this one was fairly plain in comparison to other desert conquering movies like: Rabbit-Proof Fence (2002) The Way Back (2010) Other good gold show: Klondike (2014 tv show)
