Z For Zachariah - 2015 is a fiction film, which is directed by Craig Zobel. It is set in the Earth's pandemic, which has destroyed almost the entire humans. But in this context, love is still blossoming between three people, who are the few survivors.
People are people, says Z. They will repeat their mistakes. But it is possible that those mistakes will make way for a new world, a lot like the old one. And maybe love will let them muddle through.
It's well acted and beautifully shot and the storytelling restraint of director Craig Zobel allows us to fill in the gaps with our own observations and interpretations of the tensions.
The deviations from O'Brien's plot don't always work, but the characters do come across as real people, in a believably fallen world, following a carefully planned-out path and trying to avoid a fatal misstep.
Margot Robbie's the only reason to see this film. She's an Australian Emma Stone, with a wide comedic/dramatic range, and charisma for days. She's going to be around a while.
Although the movie stops at the book's two-thirds mark, the abrupt ending is a killer. It creeped me out and then laid me out. For days I couldn't get out of my head the way it wreaked havoc on my sympathies.
