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).
