About this movie

An estranged father and son are forced to rely on one another to survive an unforgiving wilderness in this riveting, richly emotional thriller. Once a year, fourteen-year-old David (Josh Wiggins) travels from his mother's home in Texas to visit his loner father, Cal (Matt Bomer), in the remote mountains of Montana. There, the two embark on their annual hunting excursion, during which the taciturn Cal attempts to connect with his smartphone-addicted son. But when a terrifying turn of events leaves Cal critically wounded, it's up to the teenage David to summon enough strength for both of them. Infused with a deep reverence for the rugged beauty and harsh realities of the Montana landscape, Walking Out is both a tense survival saga and a disarmingly moving father-son tale.

I loved it. Beautiful cinematography. What a terrible situation to be in though! The kid annoyed me at first then he (mostly) redeemed himself at the end.

Walking Out is a very heartfelt film with great acting from Matt Bomer and Josh Wiggins. The story is about the relationship between father and son and tells us how important it is to getting an adult through rituals and initiation. This is very missing in our today society and causes big problems of disorientation, uncertainty and the impact is fear of the future. That's why this film is so important! I recommend that film to be shown in schools and I hope that fathers will watch it with their sons. For me it is one of the best films I ever saw in my life.
