There are rough moments of scripted dramatics, and often claustrophobic photography, but the work's life and success is reliant upon the reality of teenage girls overcoming nature's real physical conflicts: overcoming rapids, clawing a natural grave and trudging a hill with an deceased adult body. Well casted non-professionals are best when left to these real hurdles, rather than the moments of scripted intention.
