Overview
A father and his son walk alone through burned America. Nothing moves in the ravaged landscape save the ash on the wind and water. It is cold enough to crack stones and, when the snow falls, it is gray. Their destination is the warmer south, although they don’t know what, if anything, awaits them there.

Viewing Notes
Endured the crummy weather to cruise out to S. Barrington AMC 30 and finally soak in John Hillcoat’s The Road (2009). Pleased that it conveys the desolation described in Cormac McCarthy’s amazing story. It’s as sobering and bleak (thankfully). Only a couple of minor gripes but otherwise found much to love here despite the subject matter. If you’re familiar with the book then you should have the same reaction. Viggo is amazing yet again. Fairly certain I could watch him in anything.
