It's said that movies are life with the dull bits cut out. Meek's Cutoff leaves most of the dull bits in, but it has to. It's about the mind-bending awfulness of being lost in hostile territory, and the affects of fear and deprivation on human character. Beware of an abrupt, unresolved ending, but it is justified: there is no right or wrong way to respond to this situation. To have an "I told you so" moment would cheapen the story. This dilemma has been posed elsewhere, and IMHO better, in other movies, but this one's still worth watching. BONUS: a "making of" featurette as moody and wordless as the movie itself.
