You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a quiet, emotional journey about perseverance and learning to trust, with uplifting moments amid hardship; Not for you if you need strict realism or fast action like The Secret Life of Walter Mitty.
Pros: moving survival journey; heartfelt emotional tone; beautiful scenery | Cons: some implausible moments; uneven pacing; convenient coincidences
