Not a new film, but I only watched it recently. It's a post apocalyptic story, based on a book written by the guy who wrote No Country for Old Men.
So there are plenty of post apocalyptic films out there that are entertaining, and No Country for Old Men is one of the best films going, so I thought 'yeah, this will be ace'........and I was wrong.
This is the most depressing film I have ever seen. Of course, films with depressing elements can be good: The Wrestler, Leaving Last Vegas......but The Road is something else.
Sure the acting was good, so I'll give it a few points for that, but as a film it was terrible. It may have been an allegory for modern life or something else, but I don't care.....I wanted to sit down and enjoy a film and instead got this miserable tripe.
And as for the ending....
Spoiler:
Don't watch this unless you are trying to talk yourself into suicide.
