Following the death of their parents, Lee (Ashley Judd) adopts her nieces, Imogen (Katie Douglas) and Maeve (Sarah Pidgeon), and raises them in a remote cabin as a deadly pandemic rages on around them. For over 10 years, the girls are raised to never leave the woods, avoid any and all interaction with outsiders, and ultimately rely on Lee as their only connection to the outside world. Lee has convinced the girls this is the key to survival in what is now an infectious and violent world. But when Imogen and Maeve discover an injured man in the nearby woods, Lee's absolute control begins to disintegrate as their faith in her, and everything they've ever known, begins to unravel.

Claudia Puig FilmWeek (KPCC - NPR Los Angeles) Overall, the movie just feels derivative... A generic exercise in [the post-apocalyptic] genre. May 15, 2024 Full Review Nell Minow RogerEbert.com The film is more about mood than insight. Rated: 2.5/4 May 10, 2024 Full Review Derek Sante KVCW (Las Vegas) Taking plots and messages from many sides, this film falls a little flat for me. Rated: C May 23, 2024 Full Review Rich Cline Shadows on the Wall Writer-director Alex Tibaldi takes a rather over-serious approach that occasionally begins to feel a bit corny. But the story is involving and thought-provoking in some surprisingly resonant ways, because it's easy to identify with the characters. Rated: 3/5 May 15, 2024 Full Review Andy Klein FilmWeek (KPCC - NPR Los Angeles) Half baked... It just doesn't deliver. May 15, 2024 Full Review Matt Donato Collider It’s not hard to see why Judd might want to take a crack at playing Lee, a woman bound by duty in self-destructive times, but her efforts don’t amount to much under the film’s deflating conditions. Rated: 5/10 May 12, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews

Jeffrey P Seen very similar plots in recent years, only this one with the added dynamic of an injured young man in the woods who needs to be fixed and taken care of by two sisters and their mother... other than that, it doesn’t really turn any new gears in the first half. Things do pick up briefly in the second half with some added conflict and complexity before an end that isn’t new or surprising. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 12/15/24 Full Review Christian K It's not completely awful outside of some rough performances. Its like a shitty The Last of Us and The Village crossover with no action or propelling narrative. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 11/05/24 Full Review Patrick K Bad, just bad. The movie had no depth at all. The character portrayals were equally as empty. The plot line, for what it was, was as basic as basic can be. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 11/04/24 Full Review C J Aunt Lee was really just going to the Ace Hardware for Botox injections. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 11/03/24 Full Review Jerod S A definite post-CoVid film where the disease is less nerve wracking than Ashley Judd's poor face. The world has resumed, but she's kept her nieces in the dark. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 10/05/24 Full Review Kwesi W Need an option for ZERO stars. 👎🏾👎🏾 Rated 1 out of 5 stars 06/10/24 Full Review Read all reviews
