Watch it tonight if you're in the mood for something devastating and unforgettable—this is post-apocalyptic cinema at its bleakest, a father-son survival story that's more about emotional devastation than action. Skip it if you need catharsis or hope; this film is a relentless, haunting meditation on love in a dead world that will sit with you long after the credits roll.

Plot

A father and his son walk alone through burned America. Nothing moves in the ravaged landscape save the ash on the wind and water. It is cold enough to crack stones and, when the snow falls, it is gray. Their destination is the warmer south, although they don't know what, if anything, awaits them there.
