Beautiful but inert


Writer-director Patricia Rozema, adapting the novel by Jean Hegland, filters this semi-post-apocalyptic through a minimalist lens. It’s at first refreshing to watch such a stripped-down story that would usually be applied to a larger, more bombastic (and dumber) blockbuster. The problem: the stripped-down story just isn’t very engaging: http://www.cutprintfilm.com/reviews/into-the-forest/
