An Iraq war veteran is living in a forest with his daughter. The cops raid their camp and abduct them, forcing them into social services. They leave the christmas tree farm where they are loaned a small house and eventually find a mobile home community.
I really liked this because it was not an average, mainstream Hollywood film. The slow pace and sparse dialogue went well with the main characters and their "off the grid" lifestyle.All of the video looked good. I didn't even notice the editing or cinematography because it was all so seamless and done so well. The audio was going great until the ending credits and whatever inappropriately produced song was playing there. Those who have seen Winter's Bone (2010) will recognize Dale Dickey. The only complaint that I have is that the plot is not explained sufficiently to figure out why these people are living in the woods until the very end. I was watching along, expecting it to be some type of dark vision of the future. I thought that the main characters needed to live outside of society in order to retain some basic freedom, but no. I rate this awesome because of its uniqueness and for having "off the grid" living in the plot. I basically recommend it for anyone who liked Winter's Bone.
