A rewarding survival story with captivating performances from Wood and Page. Emotionally raw at times, this is the battle of the human spirit to survive in a world where everything that is 'modern' disappears.

Definitely went deep and emotional into the Forrest in this one and a great performance from the girls.. a good watch indeed..

This was an unexpected treat. Ellen Page produced this film after finding the book in a Halifax bookstore (Yay Halifax! Yay books!). The people who didn't like this movie (unrealistic, boring) seem to have missed the gold here - really good acting by the leads Ellen Page and Evan Rachel Woods, interesting predicaments, fully developed relationships, beautiful (heart stopping) natural beauty (Yay BC!). If you are willing to suspend disbelief (at which I am a master) this movie has merit - I give it an 8.5 (beautifully performed) out of 10. Thanks Ellen Page for producing movies in Canada.

Ever seen a movie with no pay off? Thats this movie. Ever seen a movie that doesnt have a point? Thats this movie. Its boring, super slow paced and left me wondering.... What the fudge was the point of this film? Certain events happen in the movie that never gets resolved. Its just like left there... I wont spoil anything, but Id rather watch paint dry then watch this movie again.

**A privileged family makes brainless decisions while the modern world ends. Terrific acting from the leads didn't save this dreadful film.**
