It moves slowly, but that is the intention--it helps to convey the pace of real wilderness experiences. Mason is impressive as both a paddler and a painter. He touches nicely on the spiritual side of remote travel, which I appreciate as he and I share a similar view. Some would be turned off by it.
This is one of the few films I own-I watch it regularly, and share it with traveling companions before we head out onto the water. I love this movie. Wonderful for those winter evenings when the sun has set in the afternoon and all the ice is more than a foot thick.
Though inspirational, this film would be slow for those who aren't interested in canoeing and wilderness travel. It is not instructional like Mason's other works, but more a way of taking you there when you can't go yourself.
