Tender movie about coping with loss of father. The end is of course symbolic. Nothing SF about it, as some say.

Tender movie about coping with loss of father
Mixed
A woman living in a city (presumably Toronto) moves to a cottage in the wilderness during winter. Her apparent purpose is to help cure a debilitating illness.
This film has the difficult challenge of having no dialogue as the main character lives as a hermit. The first half of this rather short feature length film (one hour and twenty minutes) is beautiful and meditative. The winter scenery in Ontario's cottage country is mystical and beautiful. In this half, the film lives up to the challenge.
The second half begins to lag a bit, though, with an extremely bizarre ending that seems out of place. In this way, the film disappoints considering such a pleasant start.
