This is beautifully shot. The story has some interesting takes on the apocalypse story but the apocalypse is just the back drop for a tragic love story. This was worth every minute. It is a slow burn because it needs to be.

The story makes me feel exactly how it should. It was beautiful and bleak. I could feel that time had passed and solitude was the norm. The characters were believable and the exchanges and dialogue felt very real.

I was familiar with the director's other work but this is, by far, the best. I will watch this again. This is the kind of storytelling that I need with these types of films.

This movie is just an abstract mess. I am sure the intent is to be deep and have some sort of message I guess you can just make up whatever you want it to mean to you. It is visually pleasing and the acting is fine. It goes nowhere though. I watched until the end because I give everything a chance. This was a huge disappointment. If you want to watch something weird...watch Beau is Afraid. This one was NOT for me. I watched interviews with the writer prior to the movie because I heard it was weird. It just feels like it is self indulgent riffing. I see why this went straight to VOD. Sadly I should have skipped this one.

I think fair reviews rate movies in the context of movies in the same genre of equivalent backing. So comparing this to a science fiction movie from a big studio and budget is unfair. This movie has excellent cinematography. The concept and idea of this film is excellent and the reveal is worth the wait. The criticism is I think it is slowly paced. I think a faster pace and extended scenes to fill in sone more detail would have really made this movie shine. At the conclusion I wanted to know more. Perhaps sone more explanation in the end to give sone of the earlier parts more detail. It is worth the watch.
