![]() He’s going to give her the tools to survive, and then be gone. He promises not to tell Edee anything of the outside world, maintaining her self-isolation, and he doesn’t say much. Not only do they save Edee’s life, Miguel becomes an unexpected ally and even teacher. It’s such a stark, gloomy story that we start to feel Edee’s non-stop sadness with her.Īnd then “Land” shifts gears by introducing a hunter named Miguel ( Demián Bichir) and a nurse named Alawa (Sarah Dawn Pledge). Imagine something so horrible happening to you that the world around you looks entirely different-why not change your setting as extremely as moving from the city of Chicago to the Rocky Mountains? As a performer, Wright smartly imbues Edee with what almost feels like constant pain in the film’s first act. At its core, “Land” is a story of unimaginable grief, the kind of pain that reshapes the landscape. Writers Jesse Chatham and Erin Dignam withhold the details about what has driven Edee to a place that almost feels built by Mother Nature to kill her other than brief flashbacks to a sister named Emma ( Kim Dickens) begging Edee not to commit suicide and glimpses of a man and a boy, who it becomes clear are Edee’s lost family. It's almost like watching someone slowly drown, hundreds of miles from the ocean. She doesn’t know how to hunt or trap she doesn’t have enough supplies winter is coming. It’s as if Edee is fine with the Earth reclaiming her. There’s a lack of preparation for what’s about to face Edee that almost leans into the flashbacks that hint at her suicidal nature following an undisclosed tragedy. When she tells the man who guided her there to come and get the rental car when he can, he suggests that it’s safer to have a vehicle up here. The long opening credits find Edee driving to a remote cabin in the mountains.
