Marian Malin (BRIGITTE HOBMEIER) has everything she could wish for: a passion, a job, a love. Until she and her husband (BOGDAN DUMITRACHE) fall victim to a terrorist attack in the middle of Vienna. The external injuries heal quickly, but Marian's trauma is so deep that she flees to the abandoned countryside house of her grandparents, miles away from the next village where she grew up. Roaming the woods, Marian slowly rediscovers the sense of freedom she felt as a child but is also opening old wounds of her former best friends, Gerti (GERTI DRASSL) and Franz (JOHANNES KRISCH), who stayed behind.

David Walsh World Socialist Web Site Woodland ... imagines it can deal in a genuinely meaningful manner with the consequences of a terrorist attack as a purely personal psychological event, without ever exploring ... the nature ... of the attack or the character of the society... May 30, 2024 Full Review Ankit Jhunjhunwala The Film Stage Woodland is hard to fault for its stunning widescreen images, framed with an obvious eye for beauty and spectacle. Rated: B- Oct 1, 2023 Full Review David Nusair Reel Film Reviews ...a compelling character study that features a first-class performance at its core. Rated: 3/4 Sep 20, 2023 Full Review Shikhar Verma High on Films It is Briditte Hobmeier’s exceptional performance that steers you into this muted character study. It is almost as if she has enveloped this woman in her own personal cloak of trauma. Sep 20, 2023 Full Review Rachel West AWFJ.org A soul-searching drama, Woodland is an appropriately moody and healing experience, that should resonate with a TIFF audience and beyond. Sep 13, 2023 Full Review Christian Gallichio The Playlist Scharang has crafted a quiet, contemplative film and, in the end, a moving exploration of how the past constantly informs the present. Rated: B+ Sep 12, 2023 Full Review Read all reviews
