"When the day is done, my mind turns to her and I think, why are we to be separated"
Despite ( or because of) its obvious slowness I enjoyed The World To Come. It's feel and pace reminded me a lot of Portrait of a Lady on Fire and there are other obvious comparisons .
It's the story of two neighbouring couples who battle hardship and isolation, witnessed by a splendid yet testing landscape, challenging them both physically and psychologically.
This is a love story brought on be the harshness of the environment they live in and the relationships they are stuck in.
The two women are superbly played by Katherine Waterston and Vanessa Kirby and the moment they set eyes on each other you are totally convinced they are in love .
The cinematography is superb , especially when the storm is raging and the scenery is beautiful but surprisingly it's not filmed in America it's shot in Romania.
This won't be to everyone's taste but enjoyed they pace of it and I totally believed in the characters.
Not bad at all.

Plot summary
In upstate New York in the 1850s, Abigail begins a new year on the rural farm where she lives with her husband Dyer. As Abigail considers the year to come through her journal entries, we experience the marked contrast between her deliberate, stoic manner and her unraveling complex emotions. Spring arrives and Abigail meets Tallie, an emotionally frank and arrestingly beautiful newcomer renting a neighboring farm with her husband, Finney. The two strike up a tentative relationship, filling a void in their lives which neither knew existed.

A beautifully paced movie
Portrait of Two Women Extinguished...
Against the warmest 19th century colour, when being yourself was forbidden, a relationship begins but is thwarted, with fossil control and dominance reinstated. Two great performances from Katherine Waterstone and Vanessa Kirby amplified through the acute and sensitive direction of Mona Fastvold.
Not a Clear & Accurate Story
1. Not convincing 1850s N. Y. farm life especially the winter scenes although we had one nice blizzard scene. Very little movie time spent on conveying farm life although a scene of an apple being peeled with an old apple peeler was accurate, but why not eat the whole apple? Didn't see an apple pie being made. Household chores seemed too brief. Did't see any gardening plant propagation.
2. The family dissonance balanced with the wives attraction for each other seemed just tossed in, and not believably conveyed. And, it was the main theme, oh well!
