Into the Forest delivers a stark yet touching portrayal of sisterly bond amidst an apocalyptic scenario. Both Elliot Page and Evan Rachel Wood deliver compelling performances, capturing the essence of survival and emotional depth. The film, while slow-paced, effectively builds tension and explores deep thematic elements around humanity and resilience. However, its pacing might not cater to all, with some viewers finding the plot progression slow.
