She needs to be alone in nature to go through this, and whether or not she comes out on the other side seems irrelevant. In this moment of desperation, a primal instinct takes over, pushing her toward the mountains abutting the Shoshone National Forest.

Working with a script by Jesse Chatham and Erin Dignam, as well as stunning Alberta, Canada, locations (standing in for Wyoming), Wright directs and stars in this simple but resonant story about a woman who finds personal salvation in a remote mountain cabin among a punishing, yet nourishing landscape.Įdee (Wright) just wants to be alone. In her directorial debut, “Land,” actress Robin Wright crafts a film about a woman battling the wilderness, until she learns to live in it, not fight against it. The wilderness survival thriller has long been a male-dominated subgenre, though in recent years, more female-fronted films have emerged, including Reese Witherspoon’s “Wild” and “Adrift,” starring Shailene Woodley.
