A divorced dad and his teenage daughter go on a disastrous backpacking trip
isn’t a horror film, but still, there’s plenty dread to be had in this sharp-eyed exploration of the shifting power dynamic between a teenage daughter, her divorced dad, and his sad-sack best friend as they backpack through the Catskills.
Their annual hiking trip gets off on the wrong foot right away when Sam and her dad Chris discover their usual gang of four has been whittled down to three, after washed-up actor Matt announces his teenage son, still angry about his parents’ fresh breakup, is boycotting the trip this year. Sam doesn’t say it out loud, but her face telegraphs her displeasure.
As they go deeper into the woods, the dynamic continues to shift in intriguing, then infuriating ways. In a gripping scene set around a campfire, Donaldson’s camera placement is revealing. As the two grown men trade monologues, it is Sam’s reactions the camera fixes on. Sam is attentive, sympathetic, even when spoken of in the third person . By the end of the scene, I suspect most of the audience will have worked up a righteous fury on behalf of Sam.
