An American drama; A story about a gruff backpacker who helps a troubled teenager trek through the Alaskan wilderness to make her way back home to Seattle. This coming-of-age drama has landscapes and vistas which provide a backdrop to the edgy topics and internal conflicts in the characters. It is a compelling drama, well written and with engaging and accomplished performances from its two leads, Ella Purnell and Bruce Greenwood. Cinematography is good with some exhilirating photographic work, but sound recording is occasionally substandard and there are brief lulls in story pace, notably with the introduction of the kite fliers.
