Not the easiest thing to review. It's really frustrating to get through an entire film only to come to a conclusion that one either doesn't understand or just doesn't make sense. Considering many of the reviews on here, it doesn't appear that I am alone with the finale puzzlement. I don't know when this takes place, though everything seems "today" with landlines and cell phones and normal vehicles, but it sure plays like futuristic sci-fi about, of all things, gig workers being taken advantage of. These workers are literally pulling cables through forests to connect to a new kind of computing technology. It's a very unusual, original & intelligent film with a cast of unknowns who all give honest and very real performances starting with the lead, Dean Imperial. It's well made and looks good especially for a low budget film. There 's a lot of real life family connections running through this that you can read about here. Talent clearly runs in the family. Still, as I said at the beginning, this oddity is ultimately a frustrating experience due to that obscure ending, though I'm sure writer/director Noah Hutton knows what it means. Shame he didn't let us in.
