Acting here was excellent -- so good that I just got lost in the Story.'
First we are made to feel that this story is sort of post-apocalyptic.
Next Other People are discovered in Alicia Silverstone's character. Poor Jake has never seen things like electric power, cars, other people, and Civilization in general. So we see all this through his innocent eyes. Then, things get more complicated -- as life tends to do. Jake's father has lied to Jake, telling him there was a WWIII, and such.
Alicia's character tries to take Jake in, but she has a past too.
The plot has enough turns in it to keep you guessing, and things turn for the best in the end. We learn a little bit about Isolation from society, a bit about what it takes to actually be on your own, as well as how quickly Society can come rushing into your life, and force you to face up to the reality of your own past.
I thought it was a great movie, and I feel a bit sorry for those that could not, or would not, see it as I have. 8 *'s!
