Ok, here is my review for follow the crows.
Set in a world where civilisation has collapsed and everyone is just looking to survive by any means necessary.
Without trying to spoiling to much, I wanted more from this film by the time the credits rolled and you understand who everyone is, I wanted more back story, a five min clip of the "the gang" together. Why were the trappers making so many traps? Why was the guy from the fishing scene freaking out about one guy, what was he escaping that so awful from the city?
I wanted more from the "trappers" and the "fishing guys". Those two groups performance seemed stronger than the lead roles.
Lets talk about the lead roles. The male lead role had one monologue that tide the film together and was very well acted in that one scene. Had great heart.
The hunter was decent as he served to push on the plot, every scene he was in was to just push on the plot hardly any lines until the end which delivered the "twist". He did have one scene where he makes a wave at someone, makes a trade? what happened here? Would of added to his character if we understood the hunter more but I guess its was the director to make the hunter be the plot device that brings everyone together.
The lead actress if I am honest annoyed me at first but by the end of the film I grew to like her and ended up liking the connection she made with the lead actor in this cruel world.
I thought the run time was a little long as we had a far too many camp fire pieces that did nothing to the story.
Without spoiling too much I didn't hate this film I came out wanting more! I have seen a lot worse in my time. I just wanted more, I wanted a more connected film.
I have to hand it to the director he defiantly someone who I keeping my eye in the future. I hope him and the cast go to make some fantastic films.
