Her Wilderness by Frank Mosley

This was a very bold film, Director Frank Mosley even said himself that he knew he was taking a lot of risk in how unconventional this film is. I would almost call this avant garde, but it does have a followable story line to some extent. While this film was very brave in it's completely non-commercial approach, I can't say it was amazing, the best I'd give it would be a 7/10, and it gets that score for the great symbolism Frank employed having a little girl lost and stumbling through the woods, hurt but resilient. This film was about how different life choices effect one woman in different stages of her life, the stages he focuses on are early twenties and single, then married in her late thirties, and finally late in her fifties or sixties and widowed. I think the pacing of some of the scenes wasn't quite right, Mosley took a slower pace through the whole film but it was painfully slow at some points.
