Choose this if you want a quiet, emotionally driven wilderness drama with stunning landscapes and healing through connection; Not for you if you expect a thriller or lots of action (also, consider The Grey or 127 Hours).
Pros: breathtaking Alaska scenery; strong lead performances; heartfelt coming-of-age tone | Cons: slow pacing; limited thrills; difficult early abuse scene
