49Deadwyler is what makes 40 Acres feel like there’s something special happening here. The script has brains. Her Hailey has heart and soul. She gives us the postapocalyptic hero we deserve.
(Mauro Lanari) Post-apocalyptic, thriller, sci-fi? None of the above: an indie survival family flick joining the ranks of all the others, more or less well-made, but by now too many.
As a feature-film directorial debut, 40 Acres marks a stunning entrance for Thorne into the cinematic landscape—Canadian or otherwise.
