I enjoyed it very much (though not quite as much as Drive My Car and not half as much as Perfect Days) , and even though I just don’t get the ending , I do love a film that makes me think about it long after!! I will definitely check out your article!!

Incredible ending. The main character resembles the deer. He is hurt, and there is a hidden backstory of the wife he lost. The deer only becomes aggressive when shot, who otherwise coexist peacefully. When he chokes the guy in the end, he is doing whatever he needs to protect his home from the outsiders. It shook me.

Well, all I got after watching it is that, I think it's not a good idea to let an eight-year-old little girl to wander around in the woods alone. It's freaking dangerous.

The ending may seem ambiguous. But what we do know is the girl was harmed by gunshot, disease, or angry mother deer. We know she is a innocent drawn the mother child deer relationship as the girl misses her own missing mother. Another mystery as to why her mother is missing. The caretakers all suffer: the girl, the glamping lady, the father, the community for their environment. The acquisitive interloping glamping man is a poser who prefers paycheck over passion, wants family without sacrifice, like campers who want nature experience without inconvenience or suffering. The father wouldn’t have the poser interfere with his daughter. I hope the father ran in the most direct route to medical care. But based on his footsteps stopping in the snow. I suspect he came to realization it was too late.

Great review...there are many layers and a lot of symbolism to it need to watch it multiple times...my ending interpretation: I think he became so dillusioned and broken by her daughter's death that he kind of wanted to seek or prove to nature that he still loves it or like wants his daughter back(though i believe in the first one) by strangling him...he is so connected with nature that he almost acts like the principle of there is no right or wrong in nature...it also points out that nature is superior and doesnt choose sides...so i think the protagonist couldn't process this and thought it was unfair how he loved nature but it took away his daughter but the man who doesnt is happy(could be other reason he killed him)... There are way too many interpretations... that's why i loved this film...please suggest me more movies i only watched this movie from him and planning to watch his other movies and perfect days...

Spoiler I believe this film to be a warning. We don‘t know if the girl is dead in the movie. But in our real lives we can still safe this child, the new generation. As the leader of the village said: Those that live higher have the responsibility who live under them

Great review new follower

Incredible film.

I liked this over drive my car to be real lol

Great movie. It’s meditative indeed 🤙 I just saw how locals react when their whole world is about to be “flipped upside down”.

Stupid ending which no one can properly explain so it ruins the whole film and probably not worth wading through except for the town hall meeting which was the most interesting of this slow tedious film. As much as we all want to kill council workers for noisy polluted property development most of us have a pre-frontal cortex to hold back our impulses to cut the red tape.

even though the movie has an extremely slow pace, ironically it was very tiresome figuring out what the director was portraying in the film. Maybe it's just me but I like films that are 'easier'.
