I thought this was truly going to be a story about a man who wanted to raise his daughter in a specific way - "green" the descriptions said. Okay - I get that. So the movie starts, and there is a man and his daughter, but I cannot figure out their history or current story. There is definitely something not quite right about not only their relationship, but the daughter. She seems otherworldly, but not in a good way. So far out there that quite possibly she would never be redeemed. I am left to assume that this is a throwback to the hippy generation and somebody's misguided attempt to show that "the life" of communes and living on the land with no actual need for not only the necessities, but the standards, of modern day was the way to go and the rest of us really missed the boat. That's one ship on which I am happy not to have sailed! At least I know why I have never seen this movie associated with Daniel Day Lewis or one of my favorite actresses, Catherine Keener. This work was quite below what they are able to give. The end? I'm still shaking my head and rolling my eyes.
