Casey Affleck's debut as a writer / director positively surprised me. The setting of a world without women offers a lot of pitfalls a movie can get lost in, but this was actually a very clean and calm display of a somewhat post-apocalyptic world, that did not rely much on action or panic, but was built on the relationship of a father and his daughter. I do not know where they found Anna Pniowsky, but she actually made that movie work, with Affleck being more of a sidekick. A beautifully told story, with characters you can relate to and care for.

Life sometimes imitates art, and this is the case with this film. Nobody could have predicted that the world would be hit with a pandemic, but this is the situation at the time of writing. And it was when watching this film - the story of a man and his daugher trying to survive after a pandemic - that I learned of a short-term (maybe) lockdown here in the UK. Needless to say, the film took on special resonance for me as I watched and wondered...could we be playing out the events in films like this one in a few months/years time? Anyway, with regards the movie itself, it was very well done. Casey Affleck has always been brilliant, and so he is here, as both actor and director. Its a moving film, and while it strikes chords of familiarity (it is quite similar to The Road), it still has power. Worth watching, if only to pick up a few survival tips (just in case).

119 minutes of "I hope the post apocalyptic horde doesn't rape the 11-year-old girl." Kind of a facile way to build suspense. Like a man who settled two sexual harassment suits out of court making a movie about a world where there are no more women.

It's a shame that Casey Affleck's actions off-screen meant that 'Light of My Life' was destined to be lost in the movie release wilderness. Newcomer Anna Pniowsky matches Affleck's typically delicate, mumbling performance perfectly and they share a genuine, easy rapport onscreen, anchoring a touchin More
