Amina Williams

Starts off interesting enough but gets pointless shortly after. Spoiler: A woman finds herself trapped in the mountains inside what seems like a glass dome or wall, with a dog. No explanation for this is ever given. A pregnant cow shows up. A pregnant cat shows up. There is an elderly couple off in the distance, beyond the wall, who are frozen in place and unresponsive. No explanation is given for this, either. She moves from the cottage to the prairie to the cottage to the prairie again. Years pass. There is some hunting and planting and adjustments to living behind the wall. She writes in a journal and bonds with the dog. A random man shows up and kills the dog while he is killing a bull. The end. There, I just saved you two hours of your life

I don't know why, but this movie pulled me in from the moment it started. I felt this movie in my soul, perhaps because it reminded me of toxic love relationships, and I just saw too much of myself in Zendaya. Her sass, her drama, her moodiness, her way of speaking logical facts fueled by emotion, her way of being pissed but making macaroni, and almost enjoying Malcolm's narcissism and emotional tirades...it just hit close to home. I fully enjoyed this film, and it seems that critics aren't recognizing how REAL this film is and how it captured life so well.
