Good story, Not enough for a whole film

There are better movies of two hours length. I loved the actress'performance.

This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

Julia (Brittany Ashworth) is living in an apocalyptic world, searching for food, gas, and killing cannibalistic humanoids in a desert type environment. The event is recent and we don't get a clue as to the cause until late and how the world became a desert so fast is unexplained. However, this film is not about Julia having to survive after a mishap, but it is a love story that fills her flashbacks with a Frenchman named Jack (Grégory Fitoussi). So if you are more interested in watching a love story than science fiction thriller, this is it. The film was a decent production for what was, mostly a one person play. However, it is not something I enjoy. Guide: F-word. No sex or nudity

Not just another film about surviving the apocalypse, Hostile strives to be more and succeeds for the most part. My only complaint is that the lead actress looked believable in her actions and expressions, but her line delivery left a lot to be desired. Almost every time she spoke, she took me out of the story. Dubbing her with an accomplished voice actress would elevate this film, and hopefully this actress will get a voice coach, because she did carry the movie.

The apocalypse happened. "How" morphs itself into "What Now?"Behind a plethora of sweeping landscape shots depicting the years following an apocalyptic event, Mathieu Turi's feature debut Hostile gives us the story of Juliette (Brittany Ashworth) and her struggle to survive.Sounds cliche, right?Wrong. It took a while to digest this film as initially I had written it off as "just another post-apocalyptic film." Let's face it, there are so many in this genre.The film centers around Juliette and her struggle to stay alive following a debilitating car accident while on a scavenging mission. She must not only survive the barrenness of nature while badly injured, but a threat far more sinister.We're offered abbreviated glimpses into her life pre-apocalypse as she longs for the days before everything went sideways. During these sequences is when Ashworth really gives a believable depth to her character. There's a palpable honesty in her interaction with the people in her previous life's sphere - most notably the sophisticated and charming Jack (Gregory Fitoussi).Juliette's memories throughout the film not only to provide a contrast to her current situation but also provide a good break in the inescapable dread of being surrounded by unknown dangers.The tension in the film is abundant and while the idea of the damsel Juliette needing to be saved borders on tongue-in-cheek, the climactic confrontation is equal parts tense and emotional.

Probably a masterpiece. a morality "western". in the 1880's, a soldier, with a very violent and clear conscience, is about to be discharged. as his last assignment, he is charged with taking a group of Indians back to montana. along the way he meets violence and his past. you really need to just get into the movie. let it take you on its journey.
