An old man walks the dusty roads between his isolated farm and the nearby rural village in the company of a silent spirit whose death he witnessed fifty years earlier. For decades, the old man's regret over losing his mother to tuberculosis has bred a pathological need to ease the suffering of the terminally ill, and over the years, he has quietly euthanized several sick women. As he realizes that his spectral companion is able to transport him back in time, the old man trespasses into his own past to set in motion a plan to convince his younger self to preempt his mother's terminal suffering.

Wendy Ide

Screen International

The juxtaposition of the banal and the supernatural may draw comparisons with the work of Apichatpong Weerasethakul, but perhaps a better reference would be the heady oddness of Mati Diop’s Atlantics.

Do was marked as a filmmaker to watch. Her third effort shows maturation and improvement that supports that claim. Her unique voice and heady themes won't appeal to everyone, however.

Rated: 3/5

Both of these characters are moral mentors who help draw out our deepest feelings and beliefs about moral education, nonviolence, church, prejudice, empathy, conscience, and commitment.

We Who Walk Here

An intense slow burn that genre fans should put at the top of their watchlists, The Long Walk is an elegiac exploration of the destruction wrought by all-too-human impulses.

I watched this movie a week ago and can't get it out of my head. I don't fully understand it all. But, I know I love it. Definitely one that will take multiple viewings. Which I'm definitely up for. Wish there were more like it.

The Long Walk is an epic experience that, despite taking place in the same bit of land, spans decades of pain and rage. It's a film that digs into your heart and chokes you with tears. It's a masterpiece in genre filmmaking.

Simple and complicated, dark and beautiful. I was mesmerized from start to finish. Imagine how much richer the film industry would be if we found actual talent like this in the world and enriched it (diverting funds from 50+ million dollar American atrocities). This competes with some of the best films I've seen in the last 5 years.

The Long Walk is a sensitive and intelligent film about a time-travelling serial killer who talks with ghosts, set in the near-future. Try and top that.
