Synopsis | 3 stars out of 4 -- [A] strong, smart and moving end-of-the-world drama that is further bolstered by strong performances from co-stars Ellen Page and Evan Rachel Wood.INTO THE FOREST walks a blade’s edge between terrifying and uplifting, taking place during an apocalypse that’s all too plausible...[T]here’s something appealing about the movie’s relative quiet....Every so often, Ms. Rozema also folds in a beauty shot of the lushly green forest, with its dense flora and chirping, snuffling fauna.What INTO THE FOREST has steadily in its favor are two fiercely-committed performances from Wood and Page, who also produced. Their sisterhood, with all its centered devotion and frayed emotions, feels genuine.A worldwide power outage sends the globe toward the brink of the apocalypse, forcing two sisters (Ellen Page and Evan Rachel Wood) living in an isolated house in the Canadian wilderness to adapt to their new reality and fight for survival. Their will to live is tested when they must forage for sustenance after their supplies run low. This thriller from director Patricia Rozema received its world premiere at the 2015 Toronto International Film Festival. |
