A never-ending power outage is the disaster du jour in director Patricia Rozema’s (“Kit Kittredge: An American Girl”) thoughtful, quiet drama about sisters Nell (Ellen Page) and Eva 🎀(Evan Rachel Wood) and their struggle for survival.
Set in the near future, “Into the Forest” begins with a nebulous loss of electricity. The two young women, living in a sprawling modern house in the woods👍 with their father (Callum Rennie), gradually learn the power is not coming back — and face increasingly stark odds as f🔜ood, gas and hope begin to run out.
Wood and P𓆉age generate a believable, prickly sibling closeness in Rozema’s unhurried but harrowing micro-portrait of how easily civilization could crumble.
