I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

To me, this movie is perfection.

Am i the only one who thinks........Average?

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

The movie rather looks like a badly edited mashup from survivor episodes focusing on the boring story of two failing contestants. This introduction should tell enough about the quality of directing and script upfront. The tenuous plot is set up on a power outage that lasts 15+ months. In today's living standards this is as close as you could get to an apocalyptic world but the movie never goes into that avenue. Instead, it uses the power outage as a stage decoration backdrop for the whimsical behaviors of two sisters whose survival instincts and decisions can't match a five year old. The grindingly slow pace and wispy dialog don't help the poor quality of the movie, either. Part of the reason is that there are hardly any subplots that would help to pick up the tempo except for a couple of instances which come out of nowhere and fizzle out quickly. As for the acting, one can speak about some decent efforts from Ellen Page but owing to the dismal script, she, too fails a convincing performance. Finally, the absurdity of the ending is beyond description.Now some technical criticism is in order. The lack of electricity for the collapse of our modern world is a valid reason but not realistic at all. Indeed the movie makes no attempt to give a rationale for the lack of power for so long. Including an asteroid hit at the scale of Yucatan peninsula some 65 million years ago, there's no natural or human made disaster that would take out the grid (not even the internet) for more than a few weeks, owing to the distributed nature of the network. Yes, it is fragile and unstable enough to go awry with something as mundane as an unbalanced power load but it's only a matter of days to restore it back because the infrastructure and source is always there. Besides that, our social order and life in big cities are all organized around electrical power. As much implausible as it seems, even a month long outage would take us to a madmax world order since we can't wind back to 1850's at the snap of a finger. In the absence of electrical power, there would be no universities, no hospitals, no dance clubs, no tv stations, no malls but famine, disease, marauding gangs, plundering, killing rampage and anarchy on the streets. Without making a a reference to such a chaotic world, showing the girls continuing their everyday life with the usual concerns of the modern life is naive and pathetic beyond comprehension.

I might be sticking my neck out and going against the stream; but this grabbed me, held me, and passed before I was ready. I'd checked out the IMDB reviews before watching this on BBC iPlayer, and almost didn't watch. I'm glad I took the gamble, this was and IS a fantastic story on so many levels. I'm watching it again as soon as I've written this.The performances are true, I totally sympathised with the characters. There's an easy, laconic unraveling of the story. We're definitely made to think. A lot of the clues about the disintegration of society are subtle, every day events. I found it rather pleasing that the Writers/Director (Jean Hegland, Patricia Rozema) give us the credit of being able to think for ourselves without making things too obvious. The house itself becomes a metaphor for society, so we can track it's metamorphosis, degradation and death knowing this is happening to everyone, everywhere.TRYING TO GIVE A BROAD PICTURE WITHOUT SPOILERS (cover your eyes);Nell (Ellen Page) is little sister, cosseted and nurtured by Dad (Kallum Keith Rennie) and much bigger sister Eva (Evan Rachel Wood). She is destined to live a comfortable life, apart from the gap year travelling the world or in The Peace Corp (I made that last bit up, she doesn't, but you get the picture). They live in a gorgeous, all mod cons and tech house in the forest three days walk from town. Not a problem with a 4x4 and plenty of petrol, a big deal without them. A minor setback becomes an all encompassing disaster; a small power cut drags out becoming a national (and possibly global) emergency, slowly eroding a rural society and its access to all of the modern comforts that were taken for granted like full petrol pumps, the internet and bulging supermarket shelves. There's an unfortunate accident that leaves both sisters in limbo not really knowing what to do or how to get by. Starvation is a real threat, the girls are totally isolated and just floundering. However Nell starts to rise to the challenge forced by hunger to dig deep and tap into that survival instinct. The one inherited from our ancestors; thousands of generations of hunter gatherer survivors. Slowly the girls learn how to use the forest and realise they're surrounded by an abundance of food and everything they could need, Starvation needn't be an option anymore. The self sufficiency continues, the girls actually start to thrive, although totally isolated, they are almost content. But, as always, it's not to last, dastardly 'modern man' almost destroys the idyll. Although his interference is brief he inadvertently begins the new chapter for humanity, setting in motion events that allow the girls to cut their ties with the past and all of its modern ills, and embrace the new world with a sense of purpose...This is a film for thinkers, not a jack hammering compilation of steam punk violence or fake morality where 'the good guys' always win and the bad guys always die in regret. If you need to be told what to think and want instant gratification, then you might not enjoy Into The Forrest at all. If you have an inquiring mind and like independent non Hollywood style films, then I think you'll like this, a lot. I can't be that wrong, can I?

The movie was good and believable for the most part. some good survival skill shown could have shown more. Except no attempt to fix leaks on roof then no attempt to rebuild a new shelter or clean and repair the house. When the boyfriend was there could have had him more involved and trying to help. They left many tools and other needed items to go live in a hollow tree. Like they ran out of money to rush the ending. Bad ending

I have applied the spoiler warning to be fair, but I haven't revealed anything that isn't in the parental warnings.There is a lot of darkness and sorrow in this film. To quote Ava: "It just feels like these black waves. And I (sob} swim up to the surface and I think (sob) I'll be OK. I can fight this (sob) and then another black wave comes and I'm just drowning again." There is a rape in this movie and the woman's face is shown through what seems like a long sequence. I am against actually showing rape in movies. In a similar way, I am also against showing explicit torture of anyone. I believe that both of these are too easily exploited.I question the choice to show a topless woman, who only seconds ago could barely move because she wrenched her back, suddenly rise up in bed and nimbly turn so viewers can see her naked breast while she tries to comfort her distraught sister. Taken together, is this art, or exploitation? Since the nudity is not necessary to advance the story, I lean toward exploitation.Beyond these complaints, there are many stupid things in this movie beginning with the blackout that mysteriously lasts forever. But I also refer to stupid choices. For instance, in the sequence leading to the wrenched back, why did this small girl try to lift a rock that a man twice her size could probably not move. There are many more. They are just absurd.I'm sure we all appreciate graphically showing the pig gutting.I did appreciate Ava's desire to respect the baby's rights.
