I'm not entirely sure Dylan, the son—played briefly by Julian Grady—wasn’t onto something when he chose to skip his dad’s camping trip with a friend and his daughter. It appears “Matt,” portrayed by Danny McCarthy, is dealing with father-son complications following a separation brought on by an affair with someone considerably younger. Accompanying him are a longtime friend (James Le Gros) and the teenage “Sammy” (Lily Collias), whose bond seems fairly standard. She's known "Matt" for years, and initially their journey through the scenic Catskill mountains appears to proceed without incident. They even encounter other hikers—some of whom seem eager to show off—and the tents are pitched without any comedic mishaps; there’s a bit of joking around regarding the nature of her connection with “Jessie.” However, "Matt" starts feeling downcast as he gradually realizes his family is falling apart. After a telling discussion with “Sammy,” and an even more revealing but ultimately unsatisfactory one she has with her father afterward, it becomes apparent that she’s also struggling, and her dad still has some maturing to do. The film unfolds at a deliberate pace, relying heavily on dialogue that feels like everyday conversation. This approach works to a degree because sentences are often left incomplete and meaning is conveyed through facial expressions. But the central problem lies in the lack of character development. We're forced to make too many assumptions, which ultimately weakens the story as it approaches its climax. That moment arrives unexpectedly and seems manufactured to emphasize the point the filmmaker wants to make, even though it doesn’t quite align with the personalities we've been following through the wilderness. I have to say, I don’t share the underlying message that the film’s later sections seem intent on delivering, so I was somewhat let down by how a promisingly lighthearted and cleverly written observation of family life transformed into something subtly sinister—apparently just for effect. It's visually appealing, and Collias is quite engaging, but movies like this run the risk of reinforcing a harmful perception of men as opportunistic or even predatory, a stereotype that most men simply won’t accept and isn’t accurate.
