The Donner Party (2009)
A tight survival film
21 May 2013 - 0 out of 1 users found this review helpful.
Director T.J. Martin does history justice as he puts this capable cast through their paces.
Here, Crispin Glover's innate squirmy quirkiness is concealed and re-purposed as duplicity, guile, and scheming.
With limited backdrop and no Hollywood trickery, Martin sets out to tell an uncomfortable tale of impossible choices, selfish agendas, and moral gray areas.
The result is a stark and unforgiving portrayal of the depth of the breakdown of social norms in a desperate wilderness survival situation.
No gimmicks. No stunts. No eye-popping effects.
Just the refreshing gift of good actors bringing characters to life and a director telling a well- written and conceived story.
