Land (I) (2021)
8/10
I Was Mesmerized

Warning: Spoilers
This film is clearly not for everyone, judging by viewers' comments; I, on the other hand, loved it. I didn't want to pause the film for anything. That never happens. I recognized this character as a woman facing unbearable loss and grief, and not caring whether she lived or died. Yet, she made the only choice that could conceivably lead her back to caring about life, she walked into, not away from, her pain and loneliness. She had only that pain for company and that is how she survived it, by facing it head on, alone, with no distractions, in the realness, and wildness of nature and survival. I recognized something fundamental, even primal, in this story and in Wright's portrayal.
