It is exciting to see and independent film do what such a film should--getting a good story that the major studios pass up, getting talented but lesser known actors, writing a script that minimizes dialog and plays to the actors' strengths, and spending money on what sets the film apart (in this case the incredible scenery).

Critics that refuse to evaluate the film for what it is and tries to do, but feel obligated to trash it because they disagree with its world view will certainly chime in. But in the day of a plethora of films being released that are slightly (if that) disguised political tracts, such criticism is hypocrisy of the basest sort.
