Irresistible tale of one man’s attempt to escape modern life
Will (Ben Foster) and his teenage daughter, Tom (Thomasin Harcourt McKenzie), have lived off the grid for years in the forests of Portland, Oregon. When their idyllic life is shattered, both are put into social services.
After clashing with their new surroundings, Will and Tom set off on a harrowing journey back to their wild homeland.
The Daily Telegraph reviewer wrote: “Foster, often such a livewire and deserving of serious plaudits here, gives one of his gentlest, most introspective, and beardiest performances, but there’s a stubborn intractability beneath, an itch that won’t go away.
“Meanwhile, if further proof were needed that Granik is a dab hand at coaxing revelations from young actresses, McKenzie – a gifted Kiwi previously best-known for her tiny role in the last Hobbit film – supplies this in spades. The script makes it perfectly clear what difficulties Tom has speaking up for herself, but it’s clearer still in her performance, all pent-up anxiety and bottled but welling emotion.”
