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

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 Audience Member It's really hard to get past Judds face. Hard to take her seriously. What happened? Kinda boriing and predictable with nothing that really happens. Nothing brilliant about it. Could have been much more. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 05/23/24 Full Review Tina K Visual study of a small family isolated from the rest of the world by a misguided head of the family. I didn't turn away because I wanted to know what would happen to the sweet, but socially inept characters. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 05/23/24 Full Review Ali A Brilliant portrayal of the fine line between protecting the ones we love and holding them hostage. Director Alec Tibaldi brings out incredible performances from actors such as Ashley Judd and rising star Sarah Pigeon. Cinematically, Lazareth was like stepping into a wooded fairytail. So compelling, couldn't keep my eyes off the screen. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/21/24 Full Review Remmy P I really loved that you were able to sink into this world that was crafted in this piece. You felt present with the characters as they progressed through the film. This film added a refreshing update to the post apocalyptic genre. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/21/24 Full Review Read all reviews
