A lovely, grim, desolate story. Folks have described this as “post-apocalyptic” but it’s more that humanity seems to have given up on civilization, and perhaps even given up on humanity itself.
Two outstanding, very physical performances from Guy Pearce and Robert Pattinson carry a simple story of the dogged pursuit of what seems like doom. Along the way, questions are asked but rarely answered amidst an incredible, bleak landscape that reflects the people surviving in it.
It’s like a coherent, non-verbal take on The Counselor.
