Earnest, very loose adaptation of Robert C O'Brien's novel. A young woman growing up alone after a nuclear holocaust must adapt to the appearance of two men in the valley where she lives.

I say 'very loose' because after a while this essentially bears no more resemblance to the source novel than it does to any of a number of other films in a similar vein: the movie adds a new character (which is a big deal in a story which originally only had two). What follows is thoughtful and well-made, clearly favouring Robbie's attempts to display her range, and the performances aren't actively bad. Even if you haven't seen other films dealing with this kind of scenario (and there have been a few!), the slowness and solemnity of this movie may get a bit wearisome after an while; others may baulk at the lack of an actual proper ending. Passes the time, though.
