About This Movie

Annie (2023) immerses you in a raw, atmospheric take on isolation and self-reliance. The film unfolds slowly, capturing the creeping tension of living off the grid in Vermont's wilds. The emotional weight is palpable, as the young couple grapples with both their environment and their relationship. It's not flashy; the practical effects and minimalistic approach enhance that sense of reality, pulling you into their struggles. Performances are grounded, almost haunting at times, which adds to the film’s overall weight. The pacing feels deliberate, reflecting the couple's slow adaptation to their new life. It’s distinct in how it explores the themes of connection—both to nature and to each other—without resorting to melodrama.
