“I just need to know I’m doing the right thing.” Like the trucker, we watch and wonder what it is as Granik masterfully carves a subtle trail through the beautiful (see the opening scenes) and brutal (see post-truck ride) PNW woods and the even more complex wilderness of trauma, parent-child relationships, and the search for home. Perfectly, naturally paced and performed, with music at just the right moments (see the cabin wait; around the campfire). I was hoping for a different ending though.
