Following the death of his wife, Ben (Viggo Mortensen) and his children are forced to leave their idyllic lifestyle in the Pacific Northwest and face the challenges of modern society. Ben’s family-in-law, seeing how sheltered his children are, demand that he permanently re-enter mainstream society or face a custody battle.
“The movie really belongs to Mortensen, who allows Ben to be exasperating, arrogant and impatient but also warm, loving and caring. He’s a tough but adoring father, a grieving widower and an angry defender of his wife’s final wishes, and Mortensen plays all these notes and more with subtlety and grace.”- Alonso Duralde, The Wrap
“Viggo Mortensen gets the role he may well have been born to play, not as a superhero, but as a super-dad determined to raise his kids on his own terms.”- Peter Debruge, Variety
“…it’s a movie that enthralls the senses and engages the mind for two hours, proving no movie is too long when you’re having fun.” – Rex Reed, New York Observer
