The CinePearl Take
Thomasin McKenzie delivers a breakthrough performance, embodying a teenager who is both fiercely independent and yearning for connection. Ben Foster’s understated turn as the weary father anchors the film’s emotional core without ever feeling melodramatic. Granik’s deliberate pacing lets the audience inhabit the forest’s silence, turning the landscape into a silent character that reflects the duo’s inner turmoil.
