Technically speaking this film is great: Beautiful cinematography, excellent acting from the three main characters, and compelling editing. That is the easy part to talk about. Much more difficult for me, after literally just finishing the movie less than 5 minutes ago, is to quickly process and review the story. It is a quiet film (another way of saying moves at a deliberate pace) when they are in the wilderness, and moves at a much more frenetic page when they are around civilization. Any scene of killing an animal for food in the wilderness is interposed with a butcher slaughtering his food, most likely grown on a farm and not caught naturally. The whole movie is like this, comparing what was to what has become. There is a lot I do not understand after one viewing, but just like a modern painting or sculpture I feel that the point is not to understand everything, rather to be moved to some type of emotional response. In that it succeeds without a doubt. Rating 26/40
