Heart of Wilderness

Its a minimalist relationship drama with aspects of a Thriller. The acting is strong, the cinematography is great, the plot is bare bones. It borrows heavily from "Winter's Bone" but on a smaller scale. An unseen drug deal goes wrong. The main character "Travis" fearing for his life attempts to flee town with his wife without telling her why. Don't go into the film expecting a gritty crime drama. The main drama is between husband and wife who may have gotten in over their head. The tension is strong and the tone is bleak, but the film has little action. Its a movie with long beats design to make audiences think and worry. This can result in scenes that go on too long.
