This started out so S L O W and never recovered. It is a waste of time. I haven't seen such a poor movie in a long time. I expected more from Casey.

Super slow, boring dialogs and a poor effort to copy THE ROAD which has 1000 times better acting,dialogs and screenplay.

Spoilers: Clearly Casey's baby, as he wrote, prodced, directed and starred. Inventive story, if not fully nonderivitive. Reminded a bit of "Deliverance," in its breakdown of civilization. And what do you do, and resort to just to get through the day? But the twist here is not just abusive, destructive people are likely to be after you, including lethal threats; also included is a post-apocalyptic milieu in which almost all women and girls are gone due to some pandemic that wiped them out. But more than anything, this is a love letter from a Daddy to a girl, young enough to be disguised as a boy, to keep the nosy and abusive from getting way into her business. Mom, Elisabeth, is gone due to the pandemic, so Dad, Casey, is responsible to rear Anna, called Rag, as in Raggedy Ann, who is about 11 years old. So he heads for the woods, they camp, are in a tent, sleeping bag, living off the land, fishing, and he is teaching her everything. On not only how to survive but also how to hide, because he trusts none of the men they run into here and there to buy his story that she is a boy, and believes they will harm her, abuse her, make her bear a child or more sooner or later, etc. The duo hops from vacant house to vacant house, as men have seen the boy, and some are closing in, thinking she is a girl. The beautiful way Casey talks to her, tells her stories, teaches her survival techniques, and the smart and inquisitive and curious way she replies is wonderful. And he tells her he loves her over and over and to what degree and such. In the end, the bad guys catch up, kill two gentle older guys Casey and Anna are staying with and go for Casey and the girl, who are hiding in the attic. He drops her out a window to the snow from the second floor and sends her to a shed where they had hidden some goods. Then he fights three different guys, one at a time, willing to give his life for his daughter, and kills two. The third seems to be strangling him, when Rag has come back and shoots the bad guy with the homeowner's shotgun, as she is willing to give her life to save her Dad -- greater love no one has. Then she nurses Dad in the shed, starts a fire in a stove, and finds goods they need. As he cries trying to tell her things will be fine, she says it's OK, Dad. She has come of age, and if we will be together again when we are dead, real pie in the sky, her face says, as she looks out the window, things will be very hard, and they may not be OK, but the good news is we have each other and our true love RIGHT NOW. Bravo!

The uncertainty of post apocalypse are evident in every abandoned farmhouse this father daughter slip in & out of. Affleck is steady, but it's Pniowsky's ease in crisis that holds up.

Dont bother. I enjoy depth movies which give us something to think about and hopefully grow from. This isn't it. Leaving too much out and having us believe there just are too many shit men over the tremendous amount I personally know who would protect and die for women. Its ironic I've watched this so close to Father's Day, a slap in good mens faces.
