Casey Affleck, Katherine Waterston, Christopher Abbott, and Vanessa Kirby in The World to Come (2020)
In this powerful 19th century romance set in the American Northeast, Abigail (Katherine Waterston), a farmers wife, and her new neighbor Tallie (Vanessa Kirby) find themselves irrevocably drawn to each other. A grieving Abigail tends to her withdrawn husband Dyer (Casey Affleck) as free-spirit Tallie bristles at the jealous control of her husband Finney (Christopher Abbott), when together their intimacy begins to fill a void in each other's lives they never knew existed. Directed by Mona Fastvold and scripted by Jim Shepard and Ron Hansen, THE WORLD TO COME explores how isolation is overcome by the intensity of human connection.

    What the hell Kirby is so good again

    Obviously the best of the movie are the performances, that made the movie interesting,. Kirby is just amazing and real, and waterstone is delivering a really good performance.. Both made that the story get more interesting, and felt connected. Movie has made in Rumania in a mountain where the entire cast was isolated, so the movie is as well isolated, with 2 amazing performances. If We compare with ammonites for example, I think that has note been well directes, there is a lack of details, so is one of the reasons why movie Doesn't have punch.. It's whorty just for watch the performances of kirby that is the actress of the Future, a beast of acting, and Waterston that from the inmaculate actress that seems appears at almost the same level than Kirby

    Hard Life

    The World To Come: Life was bleak and hard in 1856 in Upstate New York, rocky fields, sheep, (could be Connemara), chickens. Life was lonely for women, but here a relationship develops between two women which goes beyond friendship. Tragedy results but the unfolding of the narrative is moving. A tale of love, separation, hardship, patriarchy and it's discontents. Directed by Mona Fastvold from a Screenplay by Ron Hansen and Jim Shepard. 8/10.

    Quiet, yet resonant

    This is much more of a period romance done right: it´s an excellent one. A movie that lives up the expectations thanks to striking performances, great score and really good direction. A superb work!

    Reviewers Revealed

    Thoroughly enjoyed this film; the lead actors captured the essence and brought same to the screen. That said, I found arguably more revealing the pathetically shallow "reviews" that captured so well their bigotry. Wow - thought we were moving beyond.

    Beautiful and Sad

    Like all lesbian romance period pieces, it was about undeniable feelings that must be denied.

    But something about it felt very deep and real. I didn't cry or feel much, but it made me think and wonder.

    I really really loved the set and costumes. I couldn't find any trace that it was filmed in the 21st century.

    • Trivia
      The film was shot in a national park in Romania, and every set was designed by renowned production designer Jean-Vincent Puzos, and built from scratch.
    • Goofs
      When Dyer meets Tallie for the first time he greets her by saying "hello". But hello did not become a greeting like that until the late 19th century when Alexander Graham Bell popularized it as a telephone greeting. In the mid 19th century, "hello" was mainly used as an exclamation or to draw attention to something. The proper greeting in the 1850s would have been "good day".

      Tallie: Oh, how pleasant and uncommon it is to make someone's day
