The characters in this film extremely well portrayed by Mendelsohn and Daisy Ridley. Helena (played by Daisy) young girl brought up in the marshes and taught to survive in nature. I loved this a real bond between father and daughter in the wilderness later in the film you can see how torn Helena is between the modern world and the natural world, not quite knowing where she fits, the film lays out the extreme Bond and love between a mother and a daughter and the idolisation of a father. This one is definitely worth a watch story runs at a good pace it delivered well. Most mothers would die for their children you will have to watch the film to see if this is necessary.

Daisey is the best part of this film. Otherwise I swear I've seen this plot a thousand times. Man kidnaps women and holds her hostage for years. Suppressed memories. Dangerous Criminal is stalking a family member. Child is forced to kill her parent. The end. Also do you expect me to believe that a man who lived most of his life in the woods, and then is in prison for TWENTY YEARS, is able to track down his child (who has changed her name) within a matter of days? As if he would know how to use the internet to that degree. Why do film makers insist on treating their audience like they're dumb.

In mild thriller "The Marsh King's Daughter" Ben Mendelsohn's arrested after holding Caren Pistorius captive in the US wilds, where she had Brooklyn Prince who she & Mendelsohn raised for 12 yrs. Years later Prince (now Daisy Ridley) has a child of her own (via hubbie Garrett Hedlund) who Mendelsohn comes for (or does he?) on escaping prison. Director Neil Burger styles it like "Where The Crawdads Sing" / "Lou" but it's lower quality, thanks mainly to the co-writing duo of debutant Elle Smith & "The Covenant" co-writer Mark L Smith whose script is implausible, hole-filled & short-cutting. Gil Birmingham lends decent support, but this one is only just passable.

IN A NUTSHELL: A woman seeks revenge against the man who kidnapped her mother. This movie is directed by Neil Burger and written by Elle Smith, Mark L. Smith, and Karen Dionne based on the book by Karen Dionne. THINGS I LIKED: It's great to see Daisy Ridley outside of a Star Wars movie. She's got the acting chops and fierce physicality for this kind of movie, so I hope to see her in more films soon. I didn't even recognize Ben Mendelsohn with all of that facial hair! He's consistently fantastic in everything he does. He and Daisy Ridley both starred in Star Wars movies. They're the reason why you would want to watch this film. We get to learn some tips about surviving in the wilderness and hunting animals. Beautiful cinematography. I've never read the book the movie is based on, so I can't tell you how they compare, but I've heard that the movie is better if you haven't read the book and don't know the mystery in the story. The color palette looks filtered, which was a wise choice to visually illustrate how past memories don't always embrace reality. THINGS I DIDN'T LIKE: Like the lake in the wilderness, the movie is very slow-moving. The pace and tone change dramatically from Act 1 to Act 3. Some scenes could have definitely been cut to tighten up the telling. The wilderness story feels like a different movie from the home invasion one. The ending is a bit clunky which left me with feelings of uncertainty about the entire movie's experience and what it was really trying to say. TIPS FOR PARENTS: Kids will be bored. So will some adults. Bloody violence with a gun and other weapons on animals and humans We see a woman in her underwear. Two of the characters have a lot of tattoos. We watch a man poke a needle in a girl's arm to give her a tattoo. To see my full review, go to my YouTube channel called Movie Review Mom!

Watch it one time, if you have not anything better to do with your life, and then forget it soon. Its a slow thriller about a man who forced a women to live with him in the wilderness far from any other people. They have a daughter and the daughter is happy there. She is born there and does not know anything else than the woods. Daddy is proud of her as she is growing up and learns to hunt. But her mother is waiting for a chance to escape... Talking about plot holes: They live in absolute isolation. Still they got weapons, ammo, tools, clothes, oil for the lamp, oven, furniture, glass for windows... How did all the equipment get there? The don't grow vegetables. Eating only hunted meat. For years and years. Do you think its possible? For a child? The place is so isolated that it needs a boat to reach it. Still one day there appears a guy with a quad machine who lost his way. And he obviously did not come by boat. Also also Grandpa Clark appeared there. Which way did he come? A rifle that was lying for 20 years unprotected under the wooden floor of a forest shack would definitely stuck and be jammed. But she uses it as if it was polished just yesterday. Okay forget the pedantic details. Its not a bad movie. Just okay.

I was really looking forward to this, purely based off on vibes. I didn't have any prior knowledge about it. The lighting's off; it looked like there was a filter on the entire time. Personally, I would have preferred it to have a more natural look because the filter didn't really enhance anything. I just started watching 'Siren' and Gil Birmingham plays a cop there too, which was a very similar role, identical really. The story here is pretty intriguing, though it has no mystery element making it feel predictable. From the title alone, I thought it'd be similar to 'Where the Crawdads Sing,' but the similarity only lies in the setting. It reminds me somewhat of 'Stockholm, Pennsylvania' (2015) with Saoirse Ronan, although I find the story better here, but not the movie itself. It begins similarly, with a girl who was kidnapped, but her father never hurt or abused her, so she's distraught when he's portrayed as a monster. Difference is here we time jump decades later, Her past still affects her as she now has her own family and life and stuff. The movie, in my opinion, is average; nothing exceptional, making it quite forgettable. I wasn't too invested in the characters. It's a slow-paced psychological thriller, not too emotionally intense, and the high points didn't quite hit their mark. The third act was probably always going to be challenging to execute. I couldn't think of a more natural ending for the story so it didn't bother me too much. I think it was intentionally kept simple and straightforward, because it had the potential to be much darker and more intricate.
