New film from the director of Winter's Bone about a teenager who lives in a small camp in the woods of a national park with her war veteran father (Ben Foster). When they are taken in and given a new home, his reluctant stance against society brings their relationship to confrontation.

It's a very intriguing picture that much like Winter's Bone shows a vivid picture of surviving in America's underbelly with images as simple but powerful as a enormous field of pine trees being cut down to be sold as christmas trees in California.

It's well acted too but I think one problem with the movie is that it doesn't delve deep enough into its characters. We learn about the father's PTSD and more and because of that we get enough context to know that he has changed, but not enough to understand it, which makes it difficult to identify with him. Maybe that was never the intention, but it makes the movie a bit colder than it feels it should be.

Ehhh. :ld:

Blew it's load a little early with the lesbian sex so we're left with a kind of but not really clever robbery scheme against the mob.

Shout out to Gina Gershon making one facial expression the whole movie :heh:

I don't know if anyone else watches this, but 'No Activity' Season 2 has me :dead::dead::dead:



The cast is stacked, and everyone is on some improv fukkery.

Rewatched 1 to prep for 2 which I saw for the first time tonight.

1 is just as lukewarm and generic as I remember it and 2 was amazingly bland. Outside of the scenes with the young breh (who is admittedly an overdone cliche), I couldn't have been more bored. I fast forwarded through the ending. :russell:
