John Sayles' hypnotic and unpredictable film is set in Alaska. It starts as an intimate romantic drama about the relationship between a reserved man and an edgy nightclub singer, but turns into a survival story as the couple and her estranged daughter get stranded in the wilderness. The story comes with a terrific ending which, depending on your taste, will either stay in your mind for days or ruin the film.
