In the Colorado Rockies of the 1950s, young Mike lives an already isolated existence with his mother, father and younger brother, until his mother vanishes into the wilderness during a sudden, violent snowstorm. As the search for her stretches on and hope collides with mounting uncertainty, Mike is left behind with his father and brother, forced to confront deep fractures within his family while simultaneously navigating his own emerging sexuality and the passage into adulthood, in director Andrew Haigh's piercing follow-up to
All of Us Strangers.
Review:
An emotionally precise, quietly devastating drama that transposes Haigh's gift for intimate family longing to a stark 1950s frontier setting, anchored by a remarkable Fred Hechinger performance.
