The Farmer's Daughter (1947)

Kate Winslet and Saorise Ronan deliver stellar performances in a film that doesn't live up to its potential.

An apocalyptic tale captivates the nation as it teaches us to love even in the hardest situations.

Strangers in a crowd, exchanging glances, looking away, continually managing to run into each other then part ways, end up at the same diner, find they've rented the exact same vehicles, and are then made to travel together to learn once more whether they can both find genuine adoration and companionship again. This really does, in so many words, sum up the foundational gist of of this new feature film from writer Seth Reiss ("The Menu") and director Kogonada ("The Acolyte", "After Yang"). Yet, it's all only the set-up for the REAL wonder of everything that happens before, during, and in the aftermath of a magical, meaningful journey.

It doesn’t offer an absolute answer for the dialectical ethical questions that emerged in search of justice but portrays the characters as living people beyond the identities of victims.

The repeated actions, the blood on the petals, the rustling under the floor…An ambient short horror film takes us into another realm.

A cat-and-mouse chase that will make viewers nostalgic for the cartoon series.
