Actually I rent this flick -$3.00
It was lifeless drudgery. Save for the magnificent Canadian Rockies’ scenery, there is literally “nothing to see here” in the way of story telling. Why do so many actor-denizens of Hollywood imagine themselves as competent or talented directors? This, one can only hope, is Robin Wright’s first and last foray into directing and starring in her own film. To say it’s slow is an understatement. There’s just nothing here here but an arrogant, tortured woman that uou want to slap upside the head 15 minutes into the movie. Viewers should be paid to sit through this and give feedback. No one should pay to see this drivel.
What little plot there is revolves around a thoroughly obnoxious, self-centered “victim” of life who nearly dies of her own hubris in the wilderness. She’s the kind who go “hiking” in winter in rugged National Parks wearing shorts and flip flops and soon requiring a major rescue operation. When that rescue comes, she is so maddeningly self-centered and arrogant as to refuse to give her rescuers even the courtesy of an explanation as to why she’s in the wintery wilderness without even the brains to have firewood, let alone any survival skills. She disposed of phone and vehicle with no lifeline whatsoever to the outside world. Who would do that, but an insufferable egotist or a mentally ill person? She never manages to gain audience empathy as the acting is cold, rough, and thoroughly unlikable.
We don’t find out HOW she lost her husband and young sin until the last 5 minutes of the film. She’s maintained the tight-lipped, childish behavior throughout—and not even the ghostly flashbacks tell us anything. She only stingily reveals the circumstances to her rescuer, Miguel, when HE is on his deathbed from cancer! This loss is the only thing that finally gets her off the mountain. By thus time, coming into town, the city girl has the appearance of a gutter punk, accompanied by a dog and all.
The movie is boring in a way that should not be allowed. It is annoying and cloying. One cannot imagine this being released in theaters! No. Next time I see Robin Wright’s name in the credits I’ll run for it! Simply awful. Do not waste your time or money. It gives the beautiful Canadian Rockies a bad name
I decided to go pick my nose. It looked pretty good and it smelled pretty good. Maybe I should just eat it.
