A truly major flaw in this movie is for the viewers to be drawn towards the character and live through her worldview.
Robin Wright should have analysed movies like "Into the Wild (2007)" and understood why that movie worked and this didn't - meaningful character depth that viewers can empathise with and become engrossed in the character's plight.
In this movie, the main character (while capably played by Wright) comes across as empty, foolhardy and most of all just proudly foolish to just go 'do the land' without any form of preparedness, and by the time she screams "it's not working", the viewer just goes .. uh "what took you so long you dumbo?"
So instead of being brought into the world of someone in emotional and existential pain and trying her best to find meaning, the viewer just draws back and see a foolish woman doing unexplainably foolish things and just goes ... huh?
Throw in other plot inconsistencies and incredulity, the entire enterprise simply lacks believability.
Nice sceneries and competent acting alone doesn't a good movie make.
