The film, which began production in August of 2012, combines elements of drama and adventure, showcasing the stunning landscapes of Alaska. It centers around a fourteen-year-old character portrayed by Ella Purnell, who was fifteen during filming and turned sixteen afterward. The story follows her journey as she navigates adulthood, becoming aware of the world's imperfections while also recognizing her own developing attractiveness and grappling with relationships between men and women. The narrative explores themes of growing up, highlighting a young woman’s struggle for independence while desperately trying to escape harm at any price. It prompts questions about whether all men are harmful, if there is genuine goodness or wisdom to be found, and whether positive destiny exists—and if so, the responsibility individuals have in recognizing opportunities and helpful people. Although it shares some similarities with “The Edge,” this isn't a fast-paced action movie focused on survival. Instead, it’s quieter and more realistic, but still manages to convey significant underlying meanings that linger after viewing. The film has a runtime of 1 hour and 44 minutes and was filmed entirely in Alaska. GRADE: B
