The Road

2009, Movie, 1h 51min

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.

I am not sure the characters could be played better, or differently. Viggo Mortensen portrays The Man as dogged and stubborn, determined to protect his boy.

Mörk, dyster, tråkig och grå.
En långsam vandring för överlevnad... men nej så tråkig film.
