Casey Affleck's debut as a writer / director positively surprised me. The setting of a world without women offers a lot of pitfalls a movie can get lost in, but this was actually a very clean and calm display of a somewhat post-apocalyptic world, that did not rely much on action or panic, but was built on the relationship of a father and his daughter. I do not know where they found Anna Pniowsky, but she actually made that movie work, with Affleck being more of a sidekick. A beautifully told story, with characters you can relate to and care for.

Wow, a nice surprise! I felt some Last of Us vibes.

Life sometimes imitates art, and this is the case with this film. Nobody could have predicted that the world would be hit with a pandemic, but this is the situation at the time of writing. And it was when watching this film - the story of a man and his daugher trying to survive after a pandemic - that I learned of a short-term (maybe) lockdown here in the UK. Needless to say, the film took on special resonance for me as I watched and wondered...could we be playing out the events in films like this one in a few months/years time? Anyway, with regards the movie itself, it was very well done. Casey Affleck has always been brilliant, and so he is here, as both actor and director. Its a moving film, and while it strikes chords of familiarity (it is quite similar to The Road), it still has power. Worth watching, if only to pick up a few survival tips (just in case).

119 minutes of "I hope the post apocalyptic horde doesn't rape the 11-year-old girl." Kind of a facile way to build suspense. Like a man who settled two sexual harassment suits out of court making a movie about a world where there are no more women.

Another good one from Casey and it’s great that he’s also the director/ writer. It’s a good picture, with some deep/heartwarming moments and peaceful at times also one of them films that doesn’t say much about the back story and would of loved to know more so yeah other than that it was decent and worth a watch. It reminded me a little of the film Road.
