The Survivalist
Honestly, I'm not sure why people are criticising this film for having slow pacing, like it's a bad thing. Its atmosphere is almost calming, and I think that it's a slower-paced film that adds to it. I think some people should work on their attention span.

Great visuals and cinematography. The film definitely feels gritty, immersive and realistic, and keeps the audience guessing what the world is like outside the survivalist’s home. I wish the titular character, and Milja and Kathryn were more fleshed out, and the film’s arc was slightly confusing.
