Good idea for a film and in a better director's hands it could have amounted to something. Instead get a half mediocre survivialist film and have Rom Com/dystopia. Existential and psychological issues were not adequetly explored. Mis-steps in nature questioning nature and survival technique were ham handed and too many things done to prepare for living were shallow and wrong. This distracted the flow of the film and thought. The lead actor was not bad. The motivation for why the woman felt the need to leave and try to "fend" for herself is not developed. If the mood had been closer to The Road or if a Russian had made this it could have been an interesting film. Wayyy too first world.
