Review of Into the Forest (2016) by Hayden G — 19 Jul 2018
An interesting movie to say the least, Into the Forest is based on a book of the same name, and at times, it really is fantastic. Page and Evan Rachel Wood do deliver powerful performances here, and the scenes that do work are really rewarding, but there isn't enough of them.
I guess my biggest problem with the film is that not a lot really happens in it, but when something big and dramatic does happen, it is not executed very well. This is not a bad movie, but it is a slow burn.
If you are a fan of Jennifer Lawrence's breakout movie, Winter's Bone, you may like this as well. But for everyone else, be ready to watch a movie that could have been really great, but ends up being pretty forgettable in the end.
