Robin Wright directs and stars. It is roughly a two year slice of her life not long after she lost both her husband and her young son in a crime. Other than that we don't learn any backstory. Totally out of sorts she travels from Chicago to the fictional Wyoming area (filmed in Canada) and buys a cabin in the wilds, in a forest at elevation, inspired by a drawing from her son. Secluded, no phone, no internet, no TV, no running water, but with an outhouse. However it turns out she is totally unprepared for that life. She brings along a few supplies, has the rental car and trailer returned, and sets in to be a mountain woman. She figures she will trap, shoot, catch, and grow all that she needs. It doesn't go well for very long.
Fortunately she is discovered by patient and helpful locals, she eventually learns how to live there, all the while not sure how to deal with her PTSD from her tragic loss. As the movie ends there is light at the end of the tunnel.
This isn't a great movie but a good view since it is very well made. Plus the great scenery, surely some must have been filmed in the Banff National Park in the Canadian Rockies.
My wife and I watched it at home on DVD from our public library. No "extras."
