The Cold Lands Book

A very good movie with a very good plot, but somewhat unrealistic for todays America. It is possible that 50 years ago, this story could unfold as it is told in this movie but in todays world, once the boy was missing for a few hours, the police would set up a dragnet for miles around the area where he disappeared and they would not stop searching until the man the boy befriended, was arrested and the boy was put in institutional care under State guardianship. Also, the boy is out in the public quite a bit. The possibility that the 2 of them could have been able to conduct their lives as they did without somebody recognizing the boy from media and posters is almost an impossibility. The boy is very comely. People would take notice and report his whereabouts to police very quickly.

Indy films are an attraction, because every once in awhile you watch one that turns-out to be really well done. Such is the case with The Cold Lands.The plot, acting, cinematography and flow of this film all fit nicely together. This appears to be Silas Yelich's first film, yet he fits so comfortably into the role of young teenage Atticus. I'll be watching from more from this young fellow.Lili Taylor portrayal of his Mother was so sweet, even when assuming a somewhat creepy role.There's no high-drama here, but the way the characters interact - both while alive and after - make this a really enjoyable film for a quiet peaceful night at home.

I did not receive the book only the dvd and was charged full price. Thank you

Well done, but I would like to be able to buy the DVD without buying the book

too slow for me, it's been done too many times. it drags, the dialogue is too slow. there was potential here.

This is a great little work of art. Subtle, be patient. I just loved it! Thank you!

Very artful film. Beautifully paced, thoughtful and honest.

I loved this. Very character driven, keeps you guessing.
