Synopsis

Will and his teenage daughter, Tom, 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.

Our take

Debra Granik continued to attend to those who live on the peripheries of American society in her third feature, a film of subtle poetry and profound empathy. Anchored in lived-in performances, a relationship between a girl and her father is the beating heart of this story about precarity and drift.
