Z for Zachariah

A polite and sweet movie with polite conflicts. An untraditional plot for a post-catastrophic movie - a beautiful girl in a cabin in the mountains who is visited first by a black, then by a white man. When I began to tell the story to a friend of mine, he thought I was describing the intro to a porn movie... For Christ’s sake. :D Very powerful in terms of acting, Margot Robbie fantastic, like a dream girl, and both gentlemen put on a good performance. It ends leaving you a lot to think about, a beautiful reflection on our times. A conflict of science and faith. (14.09.2015)

An interesting post apocalyptic relationship drama where Margot Robbie acts as if for dear life and the director makes do with a minimalist atmosphere, a few shots of wooded mountains, and a script that has a lot to offer and thankfully doesn't half-ass any of its plot premises. This approach to the viewer is not usual and is certainly worth appreciating. Pity about the slower pace and a few unnecessarily dead passages. (15.10.2015)

I like the fact that in this case, the disaster film is approached as a very dramatic romance, leading to an ending that simply can't be nice, yet the film is conceived as quite original, and there are ideas that surprise. I quite like dark romances and this particular dark romance isn't too bad. (10.10.2015)
