Year 10 (2024)

[Leisher]

This was interesting.

It's the 10th year after some apocalypse, and apparently humans have forgotten how to farm. Like immediately forgotten. I assume that because there are still plants and trees, but humans have resorted to eating one another. Animals still exist, so not really sure what the apocalypse was all about and they don't tell you. Oh, and there's wolves. A snarling wolf is right there in the marketing.

The twist here is that they didn't just forget farming because there's ZERO dialogue through the entire film. Not a word is uttered. There's grunts and yells, but no talking.

The story follows 2 men and a girl. No idea what their relationship is, but they run afoul of a larger group. The whole story takes place over a day or two.

Nothing is played for comedy, but I laughed at one of the "wolves" as it was clearly a doodle of some sort. They should have played this up as wild dogs and not used a wolf in the image for the movie.

Nutritional science aside, it was kind of realistic. It's a very gritty, "in the mud" (literally) type of story. They do lose that realism at two keys moments though. I won't spoil it, but one's late middle of the movie that requires you to assume everyone in this world are REALLY deep sleepers. The other one comes later. I know why they did it, but it hurts the overall film when you do something just for the sake of giving the audience a cliche.

Still, worth a watch if end of the world types of films strike your fancy.
