If your sole movie genre is John Wick and The Walking Dead you should just move on and never click on this film. However, I enjoy that genre and found this film immersive and entrancing. I feel I would definitely have enjoyed the book on which it is based even more so.
SPOILER FOLLOW
A woman in the Austrian Alps founds herself completely cut off from civilization overnight by an invisible wall. Behind it, humanity and animal life seem frozen in place while streams continue to flow and weather continues to operate normally. The cause of the wall is never revealed or even speculated on. The woman learns to exist on her own, accompanied initially only in the company of a dog. Later her animal companions are added to. The movie is her internal dialogue as dictated to her daily journal. The cinematography of her existence in the alps is just beautiful. Brief happinesses and more frequent sorrows follow in her marooned existence. There are a few time jumps which I attributed to being a few jumbled pages in her daily journal which she compiles on random scraps of paper found in two cabins. I found that a charming touch. A lot of interesting introspection in this film but don't expect an uplifting experience. I enjoyed it.
