One thought is hard to shake during \u201croughin\u2019 it\u201d films: Could this Hollywood star really learn how to shoot a deer, skin it and have a delicious venison stew ready by 6 p.m.?<\/p>\n

Robin Wright\u2019s \u201cLand,\u201d which the \u201cHouse of Cards\u201d actress also directed, is no exception. What lifts her directing debut<\/a>, however, is its soulfulness. Her character, Edee, isn\u2019t some spoiled brat stranded in the woods like Tea Leoni in \u201cSix Days Seven Nights\u201d; she is a traumatized woman trying to rebuild her life from the ground up.<\/p>\n

Edee\u2019s reality has been shattered by a family tragedy, so she packs up the car and leaves the city behind for a cabin deep in the Wyoming wilderness far removed from civilization. No electricity, no gas, no news<\/a> of the outside world \u2014 just four dirty walls and some cans of chili.\u00a0<\/p>\n

That\u2019s when the familiar struggles start. A bear hurdles into her house and gobbles up all the food and destroys her supplies. She survives but has nothing left to eat, and right on cue comes a nasty blizzard. She almost freezes to death in her sleep.\u00a0<\/p>\n

After passing out, Edee awakens to find a man named Miguel (Demi\u00e1n Bichir) and his sister Alawa (Sarah Dawn Pledge) nursing her back to health.\u00a0Miguel, a skilled outdoorsman, also shows her the ropes. Here\u2019s how to hold a gun, this is the way to insulate your windows, chop wood like this. Pretty soon, she\u2019s Grizzly Madams.<\/p>\n

The passage of time in Edee\u2019s journey is awfully confusing, perhaps purposefully to express the banality of solo outdoor living, but Wright also doesn\u2019t change much physically. At one point, she tells a person she\u2019s lived in the hills for years now. Years? From app<\/a>earances, it could be days.<\/p>\n

Edee\u2019s relationship with Miguel is similarly vague. It\u2019s popular in movies<\/a> lately to tease a romance for an entire film and then let it fizzle, usually to present a woman lead as strong and autonomous. Fine, but his role of Mysterious Sexy Sherpa deepens only slightly by the end.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s potent, however, is the gradual reveal of what happened to Edee\u2019s family and how her new environment helps her accept that. Wright is relaxed and almost meditative as she takes in the beauty of the horizon, and her simple directing captures the majesty of nature.\u00a0\n <\/p><\/div>\n
