Thoughts on Land
Thoughts – Land is a powerful drama about lose and wanting to move on with life in an attempt to get over the loss suffered by someone, using the wilderness as the chance for a fresh without feeling like you are bothering anyone in life. Land will show how it can push someone to the edge, while giving them the chance to reflect on the best things about what they once had, seeing the beauty in the world. This is show from the jaw dropping location choice that feels like it could be a photograph everyday. Robin Wright is amazing both on front and behind the camera with her work here and Demian Bichir in the supporting role is a joy to watch too.
Final Thoughts – Land is a beautiful drama about understanding life after loss.
